Converting indicators from NT7 to NT8

[dgattarino]

Hi,

I am going trough the painful task of converting my indicators/ninjascripts from NT7 to NT8. I found most of the answers already in this forum. However, I could not figure out how to modify the following three lines in my code:

1) path_1= Cbi.Core.UserDataDir.ToString(); -> UserDataDir not longer in Cbi.Core. Where is it?

2) a = Cbi.Globals.Accounts.FindByName("Sim101"); -> Globals not longer in Cbi

3) a.Connection.ConnectionStatus += new Cbi.ConnectionStatusEventHandler(ConnectionStatusH andler); -> Cbi.Connection has no longer a ConnectionStatus method. It is replaced by a callback method of which I could not find any documentation. Also, ConnectionStatusEventhandler is no longer in Cbi.

Anybody knows how to help? Thank you very much,
Daniel

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for writing in and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

To answer your questions:

1. UserDataDir can be found within NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.
   
   
2. I would suggest taking a look at this link to another support forum post about utilizing the Account class: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...php?p=410327#2
   
   
3. ConnectionStatusUpdate can be used for subscribing to connection status update events: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...atusupdate.htm

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.
