custom indicator

[rjngh2005]

I have an custom indicator provided by a friend.
This is a dll file and a .cs file
The friend does not have documentation.
I was able to get it working in the chart
However I would like to use it inside a strategy.

How do I do this...Any clues ?

Hi rjngh2005,

Without having access to the source code, about all you can check is that it's installed correctly. Ideally, it should come in a zip and you install using File > Utilities > Import NinjaScript.

If it's not contained in a zip, you can manually place and add a reference in the NinjaScript code editor. dlls belong in documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\custom

.cs files will typically go in either \indicators or \strategies but they can also be used as a kind of wrapper for protected dll files and those belong in bin\custom.
