Midas Indicator coded by NT

[Essiar]

Thanks!

Thanks so much for the help!

Please bear with me since I'm new to this. When attempting to import the I-Midas into Ninja, it doesn't seem to recognize the .cs extension. Wrong file type for Ninja or am I importing it incorrectly? (file-utilities-import script)
Thanks!

Essiar,

It sounds like you are trying to import one of the .cs files contained in the Midas.zip file. If so, this is unnecessary. When you import the Midas.zip file, you will notice 'I-Midas' and 'Midas' indicators in your indicator list.

What you want to do is import the Midas.zip file (just as you've stated)....file>utilities>import script. Once imported, it should import both indicators.

One last import question

OK, I'll try to limit it to 2 dumb questions a day, er hmmm.... a week? After importing two different indicator scripts, the import of the zip files went fine BUT I cannot find them listed in the choices of indicators on my charts. Am I missing a step?

[Essiar]

follow up

As a follow up to this last question...
I am only paper trading. Can it be that NinjaTrader doesn't allow the use of imported scripts until you are paying for the software? Since I succesfully imported both the AC and the Alligator (Bill Williams) and neither shows up as a choice in Indicators on the charts, that all I can assume.

shows up as a choice in Indicators on the charts

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean that you can't see them listed in your indicator list, or that you can't see them (the plotted indicators) on the chart?

indicators

Can't see either of them in my indicator list.
Thanks Robert.

Thanks Robert.

Hmm, not sure about that one. A moderator will probably have to help out.
I can tell you though, that it probably is not caused by the 'unpaid' version of NT. I have yet to buy NT, and both indicators -that you mentioned- have imported fine for me.

In the My Documents\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\Custom\Indicator directory, do you see the I_Midas.cs or Midas.cs files?

indicators

Yes (I didn't import that one but I did import the AC and the Alligator). In my documents/ ninja/bin/custom etc., I see the bwAC.cs and the bwAlligator.cs but neither show up in my indicator list in Ninja.

Tools -> Edit -> Indicator. Pick any. Then hit F5 to compile it.

Then go back and see if it shows up.

They would be listed under 'Midas' and 'I_Midas' in the indicator list. Please go to Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Indicator and open any script. Then press F5 to compile all scripts. Then check if the imported indicators appear on the indicator selection list on the chart after this step.

has anyone done the other part of Paul Levine's work Topfinder/Bottomfinder? I have not seen it anywhere. It was just published in the current issue of TASC but not the code.
Thanks!

I-Midas not showing on Range Bars any Idea ?

I-Midas not showing on Range Bars any Idea ?

Word. Any updates on this? I use only range charts for intraday trading.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

The I_Midas study provided by us will unfortunately have the limitation of not working on Volume or Range charts - this has been incorporated as well into the script directly as it raises this log error below in those cases : "I_Midas currently does not support the use of Range or Volume charts."

A NinjaScript consultant could be of help providing custom code modification services to add this if desired.
