helllo nkhoi, i am ok in creating external variable but from the 2nd line of the update Bar code menu that i am not clear as the referencing and what each volume /values do.
i had wanted to code it in NT8 but much error.

if(Volume[0] > Values[0][0]) // Values[0] = Plot 0 the first plot , [0] = current index, [1] = 1 bar back index
Values[4].Set(Volume[0]); //Values[4] = the third plot , Set(Volume[0]) = set current value of third plot to current volume value, NT8 = Values[4][0] = .(Volume[0]);

if(Close[0] == Close[1])
Values[3].Set(Volume[0]);
else
if (Close[0] > Open[0])
Values[1].Set(Volume[0]);
else
Values[2].Set(Volume[0]);

thank you.

Resolved, Thank you again.

this indicator is no good the name says volumes break out but the break out condition will never happen, here is why ;
it take a fixed average of 6 period of volume and multiply it with 1.6 so the average is always higher than volume so there will never be a break out condition
Values[0].Set(SMA(Volume, 6)[0] * 1.618);

Note:there is break out if I use period of 30, so this value should be entered not fixed.

thank you for pointing out.

No error on screen and no error message but does not work. NT7 version 0.1000.38. The Volume Breakout Indicator .zip, i have up loaded.

[NinjaTrader_PatrickG]

What version of NinjaTrader 7 are you using? Please provide the entire version number. This can be found under Help -> About (Example: 7.0.1000.X)

Also, in your original message you mention that "NT7 is no working". What does this mean exactly?

We'll need more information about the file you're referring to. Is the 'Volume Breakout Indicator' currently in .zip file format? If not, what format do you have? Could you attach it for my review?

[Emma1]

i needed to run a file -Volume Breakout Indicator to observe it as displayed on a chart NT7.
