Hi Scott, checked into it and I see two issues working with the wizard with it -
1. Plots would need to be configurable, so you can access them in the wizard for setting up your conditions. Right now the tool is visual only.
2. The custom color inputs will not be possible to get processed by the wizard interface unfortunately, that's the compile errors you would see after trying to setup your conditions.

I then contacted the programmer and asked that it be fixed, his reply was...
"The indicator values are already exposed as public data series, MA1, MA2, and Spread. If you need help configuring it via the Strategy Analyzer, let me know, and we can do a screen sharing session. It requires some custom code writing due to the color inputs, as Bertrand stated. This is a NinjaTrader limitation."
As a non programmer there are a few questions I would like to ask
1. is it possible to import a custom indicator into ninjatrader that is usable in the strategy wizard with out further programming as the programmer has suggested?
2. is the statement made by the programmer correct in its entirety?
3. if the answer to question #1 is yes, why would a programmer listed on ninjatraders website intentionally write an indicator that is not fully functional within the program itself ?
