How do you import the downloaded Ninja trader indicators for 8.0 from here. They are zipped files.

I have newly installed NT 8.0 But it is the free version. I don't intend to buy NJ. Can they be imported ? What are the steps ?

Can someone give @kYW42786 a hand in importing the NT8 zip files containing indicators? It's been so long since I used NT that I don't recall any more.

This was a question from the "ask any question" series, and we like to make sure that people can get these questions answered.

Thanks.

Bob.

Thanks @Mich62. I thought it was that simple.

I should point out that the indicator to be added will need to be in the NT format, which is in a zip form. So one of the original poster's questions had to do with all the indicators in the Download section being zip files, which is what they should be. All of those files will be correct to import using the procedure in the video.

Bob.
