any hire programmer available please let me know.

for this one I copy ninja Bollinger code into ninja ADX code. The code is not optimized but I think the look is correct.

I think it means your ninja version is too old? I update Ninja to the latest and it works fine.

[rockon1122]

I have exact same version. Don't know why the error came up. http://my.jetscreenshot.com/demo/20180519-i365-9kb.jpg

This NinjaScript archive ...

Ah, just a quick point ...

Technically, a ".cs" file is not an archive and, therefore, should not be imported.

Only ".zip" files are considered archives, whereas ".cs" files are considered source code files.

What steps did you take to cause the error?
Can you post a screenshot of the error?

[rockon1122]

nkhoi, could you please send zip file.

[bltdavid]

nkhoi, could you please send zip file.

The ".zip" file is not strictly necessary.

You can always copy the ".cs" file directly to the "bin/Custom/Indicators" folder and compile it manually.

First copy the file,
Then from the Control Center,
New -> NinjaScript Editor -> select Indicator
Compile it
(click 'compile' button in toolbar
or right click and select 'compile'
or press F5 hotkey to compile)

now goto chart window and add the indicator the chart
let us know if you get any errors from compiling

All working perfect! Thanks nkhoi

Hi, I know this is an old thread but I have a mq4 indicator that I would like to convert to NT8. If anyone can help it would be appreciated. Not sure how to post the indicator. I tried but it won't accept an mw4 extension.

Hello diver,

There are some nuances between Metastock code and NinjaScript code that will need to be minded. Converting other trading platform indicators to our platform are more specialized tasks that we may suggest reaching out to a NinjaScript Consultant who has had experience in both scripting languages to accomplish. From my own experience with Stocks and Commodities articles, MetaStock code is similar in principle to our OnBarUpdate code except that Metastock will loop through a certain range of bars when we update bar by bar.

When converting, it will be best to reference MetaStock documentation and then to find parallels in NinjaScript. If you do not have a lot of experience with NinjaScript I would recommend starting with the Strategy Builder to build simple logical concepts and using the View Code button to see the resulting NinjaScript syntax. The NinjaScript Editor 401 video will take you to the next step to unlocking the code and making your own modifications. This video also goes into NinjaScript concepts that carry over to making indicators with NinjaTrader 8.

Once you are comfortable with NinjaScript syntax, try making a simple indicator that plots some data. After that I would say you should have a good foundation to convert your MetaStock script to NinjaScript.

I've included links to the Strategy Builder 301 and NinjaScript Editor 401 tutorials. When you are ready to look into indicators, please see the AddPlot() documentation which provides sample code for creating a plot and assigning values to that plot.

If you are interested in having a consultant who may have more experience with MetaStock convert this indicator, I can have a representative of our EcoSystem reach out with more information.

Please let me know if this is the case.
