I'm trying to make my first indicator without success

[tradmech]

Hello Forum folks,

I'm trying to make my first indicator without success. I just need a few markers on my chart.
May I ask someone to make me a simple ADX > 80 print red dot on chart, ADX< 20 print blue dot on chart, 8 period.. Well, I not sure if it's simple, but if you can please post a zip file or the script so I can study it.

Thanks so much for any help,
Mike

Mike, I would unfortunately not have the script for you, but you can generate it via point and click as strategy in our wizard interface - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...rdScreens.html

As an alternative should you desire to venture into custom NinjaScript coding, those tutorials here would be a great start -

Hi,

I am trying to code my first indicators using the tutorial for NT7. It when well for the first one (
Intermediate - Your own SMA). However, I could not compile the next two (

Intermediate - Historical Custom Data Series) and (

Advanced - Custom Plot Colors via Thresholds). I had errors on line 74 and 76 in the Properties code.

mnoel, would you mind attaching the code you have created so far for those? You can attach the CS files directly from the indicator folder, we'll then have a look and advise.

Hi Bertrand,

Here are the files.

Thanks in advance.

mnoel,

The issue is in your MyCustomDataSeries on line 28.

private Dataseries myDataSeries; // Declare a DataSeries variable

This needs to be capitalized S on Series like this:

private Data[SIZE=4][COLOR=Red][B]S[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]eries myDataSeries; // Declare a DataSeries variable

Thank you very much Josh. I have been able to compile it now.
