this is varialbles section:

#region Variables
            public int        xTF                = 1;
            public bool        showEBOnly        = true;
            public bool        showPriorBar    = true;
            public bool        showLast200        = true;
        
            public double    offset            = 1;
            public int        Font            = 7;
            public bool        sAlert           = false;
            public Color    fontColor        = Color.Black;

Any ideas, why that is happening?

Many thanks

Hello td_910,

Thank you for the post.

In this case, you would need to use a different name for your public color property. BackColor already is a property of an indicator: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tsub=BackColor

You could name this BackColor2 or pretty much anything else. After compiling, remove the indicator from the chart and re-add it and it should show up.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
