Hello tff2011,

Thank you for your response.

Have you looked into or are you interested in converting this yourself?

use the KISS method...

Trying to convert just one indicator to start with.

I've changed the paths to

@"C:\Users\tjmcc\Desktop\NT7Indy";
@"C:\Users\tjmcc\Desktop\NT8Indy"

and

@"C:\Users\tjmcc\Desktop\NT7ST"
@"C:\Users\tjmcc\Desktop\NT8ST"

I put the indicator in the *NT7Indy folder and left the other three blank. I push the green arrow and get the following:

Error message 'Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.'

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Terence

Terence and at all. I have not use this tool for quite some time however it worked just fine for the first try... I'd suggest as a first step you try with a very simple indi ex.: convert the ATR indicator and try to make the process with that simple indi working for you... however DO follow the steps!!! When you master that than venture something more complicated...

The conversion process provided on this thread is not "magical" meaning it won't necessary will do all conversions 100%. Some indi will go through 100% some will require significant programming experience for the rest of the conversion. At least that how it was a few months ago. Hope this helps to clear some mud.

kind regards,

First I would like to say thanks as this looks like it was a lot work. I tried it my indicators but so far it has not worked. I am still looking at the particulars but I am wondering, does the code change the "#region Properties" syntax at the bottom to conform to the rest of the code? Thanks once again.

Best regards,

Dolfan

Hello Dolfan,

Thank you for your response.

Any changes to the properties would not be automatic and you would need to alter those manually.

[Dolfan]

Therein lies my problem. There seems to be a lot of effort into this page http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ng_changes.htm which is very helpful.

Is there anything other than this page http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=5782 that will help with the properties region?

Dolfan

[NinjaTrader_PatrickH]

Hello Dolfan,

Thank you for your response.

There would not be any further examples on creating user defined parameters.

[Dolfan]

How are we to debug a #region that is generated entirely by Ninja script when compiling?

Dolfan

[NinjaTrader_PatrickH]

Hello Dolfan,

Thank you for your response.

I am not sure why this would be different than debugging outside of a region. Can you provide the code you are attempting to debug?

[Dolfan]

Sorry I missed this question Patrick. I've all but given up on Ninja at this point since I found some really nice features in Rithmic that I am now utilizing. I think I got an answer from someone else that explains how much Ninja is working on putting together NT8 and are not yet at the point that I would like as far as NT7 like menus and instructions on creating script. There are areas that are constructed differently in NT8 that are not fully explained, yet, so I wait with breathless anticipation for that day.

Best regards,

Dolfan

Thanks so much for your assistance Serialcoder!

I apologize for not responding sooner. For some strange reason, I have not been getting emails about new posts.

Aligator,

Do you still have issues with conversion? Let me know and include the stacktrace and I'll look into it.

Wil

Thanks Wil, I have managed to get some indicators converted, a slow learning curve though, but your tool has been great and requiring only minor coding to make things work.

But there are some pesky tricks for rendering and drawing. For example, I can not find any documentation for StringFormat to covert the following one line of code from NT7 to NT8:

private StringFormat stringFormat = new StringFormat();

Cheers!
