Unable to import indicators

[alexman]

Hi there!
Wenn i try to import indicator<price volume histogram>-the next message came
<import failed.the ninjascript archive file may contain duplicate method names that already exist on your PC or there is a required file missing on either your PC or in the import archive??>
any advise???

alexman, you would need to drop the raw file directly into the bin > custom > indicator folder and compile, this way you would see which methods are missing or giving you the conflict.

Hello Alexman,

It sounds like you are looking in C:\Program files\NinjaTrader.

The location for indicator codes is instead My Documents\NinjaTrader\bin\custom\indicator

[alexman]

Sorry guys..how to compile file???/

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

You can compile by Right Clicking > Compile

[alexman]

You'll have to look for the error messages that are seen from within the compiler. You can share the message you're getting here and the lines of code causing these and we may be able to identify the specific cause. You can also uninstall and start clean.

OK..Error was:
-Ninjascript file----Indicator/price volume histogram.cs
-error---------No overload for method,draw rectangle takes &argument
-Code----CS1501(The following CS1501 error code information is provided within the context of NinjaScript. The examples provided are only a subset of potential problems that this error code may reflect. In any case, the examples below provide a reference of coding flaw possibilities.

Error Code Explanation
This error can occur when you use use an overload (method parameter signature) that does not exist. This could either be because you are passing in 3 arguments when the method only requires 2.

You can cycle through the available overloads with the use of the up and down arrows on the Intellisense when you call an indicator method or any other method.

Error Description #1
No overload for method 'SMA' takes '0' arguments

Example #1
// Erroneous Sample Code - SMA() does not contain an overload that has 3 arguments
double myValue = SMA(Close, 5, 2)[0];

// Resolution Sample Code - SMA() has an overload consisting of 2 arguments
double myValue = SMA(Close, 5)[0];

Example #2
// Erroneous Sample Code - EMA() does not contain an overload that has 0 arguments
double myValue = EMA()[0];

// Resolution Sample Code - EMA() has an overload consisting of 1 argument
double myValue = EMA(5)[0]; )
--Line----315

The error message upon compiling seems to be:

OK..Error was:
-Ninjascript file----Indicator/price volume histogram.cs
-error---------No overload for method,draw rectangle takes &argument

The rest seems like it was taken from our help guide documentation regarding this type of error.

What does DrawRectangle code look like for the specified file (price volume histogram.cs)

[alexman]

the line 315 contain this info:
DrawRectangle("pv" + de.Key, leftBarsAgo, yBase, rightBarsAgo, yBase + TickSize * _ticksPerPlotRange, Color.Empty, color, _opacity);

[alexman]

I sstill have no reply for my yesterdays error on installing indicator:

error the line 315 contain this info:
DrawRectangle("pv" + de.Key, leftBarsAgo, yBase, rightBarsAgo, yBase + TickSize * _ticksPerPlotRange, Color.Empty, color, _opacity);

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Alex, this overload requires an autoScale bool as parameter now -

DrawRectangle("pv" + de.Key, true, leftBarsAgo, yBase, rightBarsAgo, yBase + TickSize * _ticksPerPlotRange, Color.Empty, color, _opacity);

[alexman]

thanks for reply Bertrand...
but how and where can you set up this parameter...
