Accelerator Bands NT8

[EC_Chris]

I'm trying to get a code written for the Accelerator Bands for NT8. I have the following code below, but believe this is only compatible for NT7. Does any have the NT8 code for this, or can I get assistance on converting this code to be compatible for NT8? Thanks

Thanks for the note.

I have forwarded this item to our business development team who can then refer you to a NinjaScript consultant that would convert your code.

If you would like to convert this code yourself, we have a fully documented help guide which will help you get started with Ninja Script. You will find language references to all of the methods and functions you will be using. You will also see a tutorial section which will help you create your first indicator and get you started with some of these concepts.

A link to our Help Guide can be found below: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...injascript.htm

If you decide to work on converting this item yourself and have further questions, I can provide further information where it may be needed.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
