How are indicators references

[light65536]

I am trying to understand how indicators like SMA or EMA are referenced. Do they exist in a certain namespace or DLL or is the ability to access these indicators a result of "ninja editor" wizardry? I am building some projects in Visual Studio and am unable to access the indicator/series like SMA or EMA.

Also, is there a command like the "go to reference" in Visual Studio for Ninja script editor? I.e so I can right click on an indicator and go to the declarations.

Check out the #region section for declarations

#region Using declarations
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using NinjaTrader.Cbi;
using NinjaTrader.Data;
using NinjaTrader.Indicator;
using NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart;
using NinjaTrader.Strategy;
#endregion

Yes but the indicators SMA/EMA etc aren't to be found there. This is some sort of magic.. trickery they are using, I believe.

They are somehow pulling in all the indicators into the Indicator namespace but they aren't generally accessible...

I am trying to access these from Visual Studio. Importing those namespaces does not import the indicators. There may be a DLL that I can import. I'm not sure of the soundness of this though.

I am guessing this DLL gets rebuilt custom for each users machine during the indicator build process.

You might search on debugging in Visual Studio...

This thread, they are building dll's in VS to use in NT.. I don't think they are calling any functions in NT.. but you could check it out

You need to add the correct references to the correct dlls.
