New NinjaScript NT8

[FXMIKE]

I want to write a few indicators for NT8 that I have programmed in the past for NT7. I can't seem to find the new Ninjascript area on NT8. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
You can create a NinjaScript Editor by going to New> NinjaScript Editor. There have been changes made to the NinjaScript Editor I would recommend to review the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...us/editor.htm\

I would also recommend reviewing the Code Breaking Changes at the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ng_changes.htm

Hello,
It appears that you have pasted some of your code as a response. Can you clarify how we can assist?

In the above code I was attempting to plot a 0 line for an oscillator type indicator. Nothing plots however if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
In your code you have not set the plot to anything.
To set the plot you will need to set the Value for the plot.
For example the following would set the plot to the close of the current bar plus two ticks:

protected override void OnStateChange()
		{
			if (State == State.SetDefaults)
			{
				Description							= @"Enter the description for your new custom Strategy here.";
				Name								= "MyCustomStrategy1";
				Calculate							= Calculate.OnBarClose;
				EntriesPerDirection					= 1;
				EntryHandling						= EntryHandling.AllEntries;
				IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy		= true;
				ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds			= 30;
				IsFillLimitOnTouch					= false;
				MaximumBarsLookBack					= MaximumBarsLookBack.TwoHundredFiftySix;
				OrderFillResolution					= OrderFillResolution.Standard;
				Slippage							= 0;
				StartBehavior						= StartBehavior.WaitUntilFlat;
				TimeInForce							= TimeInForce.Gtc;
				TraceOrders							= false;
				RealtimeErrorHandling				= RealtimeErrorHandling.StopCancelClose;
				StopTargetHandling					= StopTargetHandling.PerEntryExecution;
				BarsRequiredToTrade					= 20;
			}
			else if (State == State.Configure)
			{
			
				AddPlot(Brushes.Green, "Plot A");
			}
		}

		protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
			//Add your custom strategy logic here.
			Value[0] = Close[0] + 2* TickSize;
		}
	}
