How to create Indicator with more than 4 parameters

[byi777]

Hello!

I'm using NT 7 RC1.
Tried to create new Indicator using Indicator Wizard with 6-7 parameters.
Indicator Wizard allowed create only 4 parameters ( It has only 4 fields to fill out) .
How I could incorporate more than those 4 parameters?

Should I go into script and modify appropriate areas, including restricted area:

#region NinjaScript generated code. Neither change nor remove.

Thanks

Hello byi777,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

You can add additional parameters with code. The structure for this is covered in this forum post:

To add the parameters you work in the properties region, not the NinjaScript generated code section.

Thank you, Ryan,
It worked well and generate proper code in restricted area.

Only one minor issue - parameters were placed in generated code and in Indicator properties in alphabetical order - I would like to have it in the same order I've placed them in “Variables” and/or “Properties” section.
Could I control this order or just have some prefixes to parameters names,which will create alphabetical order matching order I would like to have.

Thanks
YB

Hi, am trying to add more than 4 parameters for an indicator. Have tried the suggested link which is broken. While I can add the parameters in the code and it compiles, only 4 display. How do I fix this?

Hi Chris. I can add the parameters, have lots of coding experience. The problem is the new parameters do not show in the display window of the indicator when I add it to the chart. In fact only the ones created with the initial indicator creation setup do.

So, added new parameters, compiled the code, add the indicator to chart, can't see extra added parameters. Do you know what I'm missing?

Thanks.

Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
Your 'IsEnabled' was named 'Enabled' in your properties region. The private bool variable is called 'isEnabled' so you will need to change 'Enabled' on line 123 to 'IsEnabled'.
You need to change line 56. You are using your UI parameter name instead of the private variable so change 'Enabled' to 'isEnabled' on line 56.
Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.
