Adding a dll

When I have used custom dll's in Ninja 6.5 I have added the dll file to Ninja 6.5 / bin/ Custom which on my computer is all in the Documents folder.

Then open up a strategy/indicator and right click - select add reference and then select the dll file.

You should add a using statement to the top of the file so that the methods etc contained in the dll can be referenced without using the fully qualified namespace.

I believe I then recompiled the indicator. Hope this makes sense and is helpful until the Ninja team reply in full

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

What MicroAI mentions is correct. You will need to add the reference by right clicking and select References. Then you will be able to include the DLL reference to the top of your file by adding the following:

#region Using declarations
using Ninjatrader.Strategy;
using YourDLLClassName;

Please see this following page:

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
