'NT application has stopped working' message

[joemiller]

the following two lines in the indicator initialize region cause NT to immediately crash with the message 'NT application has stopped working'. Please advise.

joeXXOindicator(1).Plots[0].Pen.Width = 3;
joeXXOindicator(1).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Red;

Joe, indicators would not Add() indicators in for display, that's something only supported for strategies.

[joemiller]

Do you mean the two statements are 'add' statements even though there is no explicit word 'add'?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

No, but this is a technique needed when you want to change plot colors for indicator Add()ed by a strategy. This would not apply to your regular indicator - here you would just specify the desired plot color in the Add() call for the plot that defines the visualization aspects.

my experience with NT is not sufficient to fully understand [to the point where I could explain it myself]. However, no problem ... It is time for me to be glad that I've got it working, and to press on.
