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.

Converted this indicator from NT7 to NT8. Displays the live spread updates in corner and draws dots on bars of the bid and ask. Its works on ticks, on live data only, on forex and futures only. Bring the good karma!
This is a conversion of the DValueArea developed by Ben L. and originally coded for the NinjaTrader 7 platform by DeanV. I found it on the Ninjatrader Support Forum, converted by Ninjatrader Support.
It shows the developing value area and POC, also pre-session. Profile types are VOC, TPO, VWTPO and VTPO. You have the option of showing a realtime POC.
Please contact the original author for any questions or comments.

EdsLevel2Dom_V2.0.1
A simple histogram indicator of depth of market (DOM) data also known as standing, limit and stop orders. Displays along side the price scale with a handy adjustable margin to avoid other price scale indicators. Written for simplicity and speed of execution. A performance test has been added to evaluate the Refresh Delay parameter.
This is EdsLevel2Dom_V1.0 (NT7) rewritten for NT8.
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.

Regression Channel with fixed start V2 NT8.0.2 updated
Updates::
Update V2.1.0 22 Jan=>
* Bug fix: On some occasions when using fixed start the LRC would not adjust accordingly.
* Made text messages more readable and less intrusive. (From feedback....thank you).
* Added option for a start marker. (From feedback....thank you).
* ZOrder adjustment - place behind or in front of bars.
* For coders: 'Friendly' names enums - no more camel case enums!
Update V2.0.2 Jan=>
* Added Mean Absolute Deviation thanks to 'spooz2'
Note: Make sure you have >= NT8.0.3.1 for the button to work without issues.
Included with this LRC:
* Ability to start the LRC from any bar of your choosing via a button.
* Directional coloring.
* Bands
* Four different price marker displays: Price, Standard deviations, ticks from the middle line, regression slope per ticksize (which enables you to compare the slopes of other instruments)
* Decimal places formatter....adjust to your liking.
* Ability to use Raff channels as shown here in TASC Oct 1991
* You can use on any indicator
* Unlike the NT8 version, you can scroll backwards and the LRC will plot the past.
Note:
If using the LRC fixed start feature you will have to manually refresh the chart by pressing F5. This is the compromise of using an indicator instead of a drawing tool.
You can download the two videos here and here for setting up options.

PriceLine V2 NT8.0.2 with timer
This price line has been morphed with the NT8 bar timer.
* You can use the timer on time-based, tick or volume bars.
* I have made a custom price marker that attempts to emulate the default NT8 price marker. (You can use this AddOn for your own indicators as well).
* Set a threshold value to warn you when the timer exceeds the threshold value.
* Choose the ZOrder to enable plotting behind or in front of the bars.
* Choose opacity of the line.
* Set to plot the tick size thickness to use on Footprint charts. (These are not included).
* The timer and priceline colors are automatically set to the data series/instrument price marker so you must change this within the data series menu.
* Set the length to: Fullscreen, margin only, fullscreen minus margin, your length or timer only.
Notes:
* The timer will plot only whilst you are connected.
* The time-based timer is set off your system clock, so make sure this is correct.
You can download this video here to show you through the options.

Hello Traders, Rev 3... Astute trader NgoLimit suggested an enhancement. I have added the ability to change the drawing style.
Rev 2...An astute trader found a slight oversight in the code. The line size went to a fixed width if history was not enabled. I have fixed this. Thanks Aregon!
Rev 1...I have enhanced the capabilities a little. Now you can name the event. In the example, I have the CL Pit Open, the Equities Open and the CL Pit Close. I hope that this is useful for you...
Bob
Hello Traders, Here is an NT8 indicator that marks the pit open, or any other time based event such as a news event or inventory report or the like. It paints a horizontal line from the event and extends for x hours. Since the time can be set, you could use several instances of the indicator for the Open, News Event or whatever you like. You have the Option of turning the text on or off and the option of printing historical events. Since the indicator uses a synthesized 1Minute time base, you can put it on virtually any chart type and the time-price mark will always be correct. I use it for the CL Pit Open and important news events.

I found this somewhere on the F.IO or NT forums and someone helped me convert it to NT8. You can set the start times and end times of the opening range and save them. Okay I received some comments about this indicator so I thought I would share them. I was told it is not always precise when plotting on a tick or volume chart. It may be because the begin / end time is not exactly at the open or the close of the bar. It works fine on minute charts. It may not work well for timeframes higher than 30 minutes. I am not a coder, but the author of this indicator is here: https://twitter.com/bearishtrader and http://bearishtrader.blogspot.com/

This is just the TSSuperTrend in the NT7 section converted to NT8. It was compiled in NT8.0.2.0. It is possible in this version to choose different plot colors, also to switch the plot, arrows, bar coloring and alert sounds on and off independent of each other. I have incorporated the code for adaptive mode in this version rather than have the separate homodyne discriminator.
Please let me know of any problems.
9 Nov 2019 ****** Errors Found *******
Have found a couple of errors in this script.
One was a error in the original NT7 version, I cannot edit this as I did not upload it.
The other was an error in the code that is used only for Adaptive mode.
Both errors corrected and new version uploaded

Dec 19th 2016 Version 1.1
fixed a minor bug (error on close of chart showing up in log)
added icon for the button: thanks to mk77ch for providing the code and the icon.
the attached icon toggle.png must be copied to the Ninjatrader 8 Folder (usually .../Documents/NinjaTrader 8)
If the icon is found it will be used if not we will fallback to TextMode in the menubar.
INSTALLATION: Please unzip the zip first. It contains the toggle.png and the Ninjatrader archive for import.
Dec 16th 2016 Version 1
This Indicator adds a button to the ChartMenuBar which allows to quickly show/hide trade executions on the chart.
I took the idea from NT7 Indicator created by Whitelight on FIO and build for NT8.
This is version 1.0.
Installation is done via the normal Tools -> Import -> NinjaScript AddOn Function.

This is the Williams %R indicator with JayMA smoothing. Williams %R is a momentum indicator designed to identify overbought and oversold areas. By adding JayMA smoothing, we have a quick yet smooth version of this popular indicator.
Originally added by BigMike, I've converted it to NT8.

Heikin-Ashi Smoothed and Delta NT8.0.2 V1.1
Update V1.1 Dec 16: Forgot to add Try-Catch statements. You should download this version for 'safety' reasons. Also fixed bug whilst using in the market analyzer.
This is a port of FatTails NT7 indicator, with some additions of my own.
You will find:
1. both Dan Valcu's and Sylvain Vervoort's smoothed and original versions.
2. 32 kinds of smoothers, 6 of which are 'gapless'. (Thanks to Rayko for uploading all the 'au' smoothers) at the NT forums.
(This includes a gapless Jurik MA that works on TickReplay).
3. Heikin-Ashi delta as well (It plots in ticks rather than points) . Just select 'Delta' and set to another panel besides your instrument one.

ks. In the past I have just tryed things (including this) and then forgotten about it. So the next time NT screws up I'm
scrambling to find out how to solve all over again. This time I bookmarked this page..... Would you say I'm a bit slow.
