Installing 3rd-party indicators

[trader_rick1234]

Hello. I have downloaded 3 different versions of pepe's VertcialScale indicator. I actually managed to install one a long time ago. Now I want to install a different version and can't! I guess I forgot how I did it the 1st time. Although it might be that the indicator that I am trying to install is the same name, just a newer version.

First of all, the zip file that the indicator came in has no DLL file in the zip file! There is only a CS file and an XML file!

I copy the cs file in to the

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\Custom folder

I have also looked the the help file (http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...artyIndicators), tried adding a reference, and also have tried compiling the CS file. but I get errors.

Unable to ad reference since it looks for a DLL file right? As far as compiling, the error I get says that

"The namespace 'NinjaTrader.Indicator' already contains a definition for 'VerticalScale',CS0101"

I have also tried using the import NinjaScript feature, but it t ells me that it's running with errors and cannot import until these errors are resolved.

NT6.5 is running fine though. I would appreciate any help.

Hello,

I suggest removing all indicator files from NT and starting over:
Tools>Edit>Indicator>Delete.

Then File>Utilities>Import.

What terrible advice, you don't know if this guy has custom indicators that he has not backed up and you tell him to delete ALL. How about just deleting the file he just tryed to compile and then using the import for the zip file.

Hello,

Because it usually does not work; however you are welcome to try.

That's true Rick, you can't compile 2 versions of a indicator class having the same name, the compiler can't handle this. You need to separate the class names somehow (VerticalScaleNew).
