Slopes indicator

[Thomas79]

Hi

i'm working on the slope of the SMA and i found on NT7 indicator library : Slopes

It's looks very interesting, however, when i try to integrate it on a strategy, i have always error although i use the "insert condition".

The condition is the followinf : if slopes angle > 50...

Can you help to fix he errors ?

thx a lot.

Hello Thomas79,

Thank you for your post.

Which slope indicator are you working with? There are several on the User App Share so I'd like to make sure I'm looking at the correct indicator. Or were you trying to use the Slope() method?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hi Kate,

thx for the response, i'm using this indicator i found on the NT7 indicator list

And i try to call it on the Strategy editor :

Slopes(NinjaTrader.Indicator.Slopes+Indicates.SMA, 1, 14, 10, 30, NinjaTrader.Indicator.Slopes+Views.Angle).Angle[0] > 50

but i have CS0119 and CS0103 Errors

Hello Thomas79,

Thank you for your note.

This indicator as written would not be able to be used with the Strategy Wizard. It's defining the Enums within the Slopes class, and those would need to be in the global namespace as seen in this example to be able to use the indicator with the Strategy Wizard:

You may also try unlocking the code and changing the "+" signs in that line to periods, and then it should compile. The builder just isn't equipped to handle enums inside the indicator class itself. Since NinjaTrader 7 is no longer under active development, we cannot put in a feature request to have this changed.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
