The idea of this thread is to bring together people who are having problems getting their favorite indicators from Ninjatrader 6.5 to work in 7, with those who might be able to fix the problems.

So. tell us what is not working and someone may come along to help you.

If you have found the solutions to any problems that came up when converting an indicator, please post them here.

See the Ninjatrader 7 Code Breaking Changes document, accessible through the NT7 General questions and bug reports thread on the NT forums.

In Ninjatrader 7 there are two additional parameters required. Boolean autoscale goes right after Tag, the first parameter. Usually this should be false. An integer, Y pixel offset, goes right after y. usually this should be 0.

You can find this information in the Ninjatrader 7 Help files. A search for DrawText will get you to the topic.

In NT7, rows must be added to a list before attempting to read from or write into those rows. Otherwise, "index out of range" runtime errors are generated.

Zondor,

I've had quite a number of NT6.5 indicators that would not import/compile into NT7Beta. I've been able to import quite a few with a little guidance from the Ninja guys. One of such technique is to copy the .cs file to the required NinjaTrader folder, compile and note the error messages. If the error messages are not many and overwhelming, then the indicator can be tweaked to compile. The Ninjatrader 7 Code Breaking Changes document can also help.

Meanwhile, I'm still not able to import/compile this indicator here. The versions 01 and 02 import/compile without any tweaking, but this version 03 would not import/compile because the "DrawText script command arguments do not conform with NT7 numenclature.

Can you have a look at the indicator above ?

Lolu there are 2 additional parameters for DrawText in NT7:
1st is autoscale (true or false)
2nd is pixeloffset (int).

In your case change:
DrawText(objName,"h", objOffset, objVal, objColor, textFont, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, objectOpacity);

To:

DrawText(objName, false, "h", objOffset, objVal, 0, objColor, textFont, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, objectOpacity);

Notice where "false" and "0" were added and repeat the same for all other DrawText

Good luck

I did put "false" but it never worked. In fact, I had tweaked quite a few NT6.5 indies with the "false" argument and they worked. Now I'm going to insert the "0".

It works !!!!!!

Thanks.

Those parameters were always available for NT6.5 DrawText() but the code would compile and work without them.

It never did.

Can you compile this in NT7Beta without those two parameters ? Please let me know.

Price line indicator is a very useful indicator that I would like to use with N7 but have not been able to do so. Could someone provide a version to work with N7?

This is what I tweaked and I'm using.

You'll need to copy it to the Ninja "....\bin\Custom\Indicator" folder, then compile it.
