Need Direction on indicator development

[ballboy11]

I am working on a project and need a little direction.

Questions are the following?


1. Can I put a button on the chart on top buy the chart trader or indicator buttons?

2. Can i make my own customized drawing tools like rays lines fibs etc?

if so where can I get information in building these?

Hello ballboy11,

Thanks for the post.

Please see this indicator posted on the forum that demonstrates adding buttons to the toolbar:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/local_links.php?catid=5&linkid=490

Once this is imported, add the strategy to your chart and enable it. Two buttons will appear on the chart toolbar.

NinjaTrader 7 uses Windows Forms for it's UI so reference this publicly available link on the Forms class while you are developing your script, you will see that the individual who wrote the script uses Windows Forms objects/functions.

On your second question, creating custom drawing tools is not supported or documented for NinjaTrader 7. You are able to do so in NinjaTrader 8 though.

Please let us know if we may be of any further assistance.
