I have a few ideas to program into NT8 but I'm NOT a programmer. Anyone would like to add my ideas to this platform via programming. PLEASE Let me know TY Chris Brock

Hi @BullHorn,

In this "ask any question" thread, we try to find a location in the forum where a member's question is most likely to be be seen and hopefully responded to by other traders of similar interests, and then create a new thread for their post in that location.

In this case, you have a difficult question to know where to best transfer it to. You should understand that it is possible to create new indicators or automated strategies for NT8 that can add to its functionality, but that the platform itself cannot be changed by outside programmers, only by NinjaTrader itself, and that the functional add-ons that can be applied can only have a limited effect.

Unfortunately, your question is extremely non-specific. It is much better to just say what your ideas are, and then see if they arouse some interest.

I am going to transfer your post to a new thread in the NT section. You can find it here:

Ideas to add to NT8 via programming I have a few ideas to program into NT8 but I'm NOT a programmer. Anyone would like to add my ideas to this platform via programming. PLEASE Let me know TY Chris Brock

Use that thread to read and reply to any responses.

I suggest you add something to describe what your ideas are, so that an programmers who read the post will know if they are interested, or if they think the ideas are possible.

Bob.

Hi @rscr,

In this "ask any question" thread, we try to find a location in the forum where a member's question is most likely to be be seen and hopefully responded to by other traders of similar interests, and then create a new thread for their post in that location.

In the case of this question, which is of a very general nature regarding trading, I have created a new thread in the generic "Traders Hideout" section and copied your post there. You can access any replies by going to the new thread, here:

Position sizing strategy for scalping For the math inclined. Scalp strategy for trading day trading ES. with win rate of 60% On loss increase lot size using the following progression for a 6 steps progression:1-1-1-2-5-10 On win you double your lot size and on 2nd win = restart progression …

I have already made a reply there with my thoughts on the subject.

Also, as a word to the wise, we make this "ask any question" facility available mainly to help out new members who aren't familiar with the forum and need some help in getting their post in the right place.

Since you are past that stage now , I'm going to ask you to not post your questions this way any more, but to locate what you think is the best place for it and post it there. Otherwise, you should know that every single time anyone uses this "ask any question" thing, that is what I do, and hopefully your question ends up in the same place you would have put it in.... But it's obviously better if you could just put it there in the first place.

It's not really a problem, just that this thread is best used just to help out new users.

Hope you get some replies.

Bob.

Understood and shall comply. Thanks

hi Bobwest,

Could you point me to a thread or post that gives me a step by step
on uploading an indicator.. I want to do it correctly, so it ends up in
the 'elite circle' area..

thanks,

Hi @Chof


Assuming you've first used NT8 Export indicator via NT8 Tools > Export > Ninjascript Add On:

If you click on Download/Indicators at top of the main page,






then select The Elite Circle






you'll then need to select Add Entry:




Then add a "Name" and "description" and Upload the File :



Hope this helps

Edit: Ps apologies Bobwest, I've only just realized the request was made to you. I didn't mean to intrude.

Yes, thank-you... this should do it..

cheers,

Chof

@Chof.

Welcome.

An image/screen shot of a chart example is also very helpful to explain the indicator and use (via Upload Image).

Hi, yes I did upload one - just hit the "+" button.. Um, it'll only
allow one pic.. Can you tell me how to start a thread and fashion
the ''thread box/link'' that can be clicked to a discussion area.. ?
I have a couple more pics to explain the "Ellipse #1 & #2 I identified
in the pic on the download page..

cheers,

Chof

Hello.

Ok thanks re the "+" sign.

To start a new thread, assuming it's elite, scroll down on the main site page to Trading Community and select "Elite Circle" :



Then select New Thread:




Then enter a Title and type your message and submit:



I don't know about linking to "discussion area" other than pasting URL but perhaps just discuss in the thread itself.

You can upload images and files each time you post by clicking the drop down arrow to the right of "Additional Options" from where you can "Manage Attachments".

"Choose File" then click "Upload" then either attach or Embed, as I'm doing here, in to your post.






kind regards

yes, so, it was sort of easy.. I followed your links and drafted the 'new thread'
submitted it and then copied the "#1permalink" in the top right
corner.. then pasted same into the 'edit' area in the indie download box..
and it built the box with a built in link.. too easy.. now the fun starts..
where I find all the problems everyone can have.. and what I forgot..

thanks for your help..
