Run the console app to delete all files and folders within the 'NinjaTrader 8> db> cache' folder.

The NT8 data cache folder saves pre-formatted data to suit your bars types, the purpose of which is to enable faster startup times.
Sometimes in certain circumstances your chart bars will be full of errors, so it doesn't hurt to clear the cache once in a while, or every day if you are having issues.

Use only if you are having problems with data, tick replay indicators or if you have modified your bars types.

This will NOT make a backup of your cache files, so use carefully!
It WILL, however, check for NT8 being open and advise you as such. It WILL check for your cache folder being empty and advise you as such.

This was built using an English speaking culture on Windows 10. It directs the delete command to:
'yourDocumentsFolder\NinjaTrader 8\db\cache'. This will not work on XP. Although I have tried to use code to work on all cultures, I have not tested it as such.

Thanks to bobc635 for suggesting this simple concept.

Tips:

* Extract the file to the desktop and run from there.
* If you wish to see inside the .exe file just download a free decompiler like DotPeek.

MacdBB V4.0.2 NT8.0.4 + gradient + pullback setting

22 Feb: Fixed alert message. Added file selector for sounds.

Includes:

* Paint bars.
* Candle outlines.
* Paint background of panel and chart.
* Standard option.
* New pullback option. If the dots are above/below the average then the dominant trend colors the dots.
* Gradient option with improved gradient methods.
* Radial gradient 'bling' for your dots.
* Custom audio alert.
* Gapless option. Use intraday to ignore the opening gap. Useful for determining the opening trend.
* Chart signals for entry and exit, based on crossing of the zero line, average or bollingers.
* New SignalIntSeries using +1 for uptrend, -1 for downtrend to use in your strategies.
* Choice between standard deviations or mean absolute deviation (MAD).

** I plan to make a version soon that will accept several smoothers for calculation and I'm looking into Text to Speech for audio alerts, something NT should have done.

Make sure you extract the .zip file first to show the files. Inside you will find the .zip to import!

Make sure you insert the included audio files here: C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 8\sounds

All new coding done according to NT8 best practices here.

As usual, let me know if something ain't quite right.
