Turn Strategy into Indicator

[cre8it8]

Is there a way to take the below Strategy that was created in your wizard and turn it into an Indicator? It Draws arrows by the candlesticks and plays a ding or beep. I have several Strategies that I would like to make Indicators so I don't have to load them every time. Is this possible? Thanks You for any help.

All the code after the OnBarUpdate() is the same as indicator code. You could pretty much generate an indicator and do a copy and paste.
This:
Low[0] + -3 * TickSize
Could be shortened to this too:
Low[0] -3 * TickSize

I tried that but I still have no sign of the arrows showing up. Does the Market have to be open because as an indicator it will only show up in real time? When I run it as a strategy there are arrows on the previous bars when the strategy is met but not as an indicator. The ES is not open right now.
Thanks for your previous reply and any further help.

Never mind. I think the problem is that my Ninja subscription ran out and the basic one that my broker gives me doesn't have the option to edit indicators or strategies. Sorry for the waste of time. But I may still convert all my strategies into indicators so your advice may still of great use to me so thank you.

Hi, when you move strategy code to an indicator, please also make sure to add those checks to the start of your OnBarUpdate() - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3170
