Ninjatrader 7 and Visual Studio

[ballboy11]

Can you program NT7 indicators in Visualstudio 2017 I find it way easier to program in NT7 when scrolling through script as well if I can connect a chart to view the dataflow?

Hello,
Thanks for your post.

You may use Visual Studio as a syntax editor for NT7. To have IntelliSense you would need to use the Custom project. One of my colleagues has composed a video to show how to set this up and compile from NinjaTrader: http://screencast.com/t/eH7y5cedlzh

Before you perform these steps, please make sure that you are on the current version of the platform. You will need to perform these steps each time you do a fresh install.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks it worked perfectly but one more question. I see all the ninjatrader indicators but I can not see my indicators I developed in visual studio

You may view your custom indicators in Visual Studio by clicking on "Show All Files" in the Solution Explorer. After clicking "Show All Files" you will need to right click on the indicator and select "Include In Project" to have IntelliSense enabled on the custom file.

Thanks yes it helps for moving around the code
I did put breakpoints in the functions but it seems it never hits the breakpoints. even when I attach to process to the chart. The breakpoints is highlighted and on theNT7 version i set it to debug mode. but it won't hit the breakpoints

Have you followed step 2 from the help guide, 'Attach to Process'?
