Net Change indicator

[morpheous455]

Hello, I'm looking for an indicator that will plot the net change in an instrument on the chart. The one I've found in the forum here doesn't seem to work?

Hello,

I'm not finding a net change indicator on our forums. Can you please share a link to the indicator so that I can test it and see if it's salvageable? Alternatively, you should be able to create a net change indicator from scratch by comparing the values of the last bar of the previous session to the last bar of the current session (assuming you are using this definition of net change: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/netchange.asp)

I look forward to your reply.

Sorry it was called netchangedisplay

Hello,

Thank you for sharing. The indicator seems to work well for me (see below). Can you please clarify exactly what seems to be going wrong when you try to use it?

More than likely you have another script in your Custom folder that has the same name as this one or its using the same Enum name that the NetChangeDisplay is using.

If you wanna try, extract the .Zip and place the NetChangeDisplay.cs in your indicators folder in (My) Documents -> NinjaTrader 7 -> bin -> Custom -> Indicator

Open a script from Tools -> Edit -> Indicator and run a compile (F5)

That should tell what the error is

ok I did and get the attached error?

Interesting. Have you recently upgraded NinjaTrader, by chance?

[morpheous455]

no I haven't, is there a newer version?

Ok, looks like that .zip was exported using an older version of NT.

I went ahead and updated it for you since it was an easy fix.

I have the latest version of Ninja 7 and mine failed to compile as well. Here is a link to the picture with error messages.

I fixed this by removing a known Indicator file that I started but wasn't finished. It seems Ninja compiles ALL indicators upon hitting F5. One error is shared by all. Seems like a weird glitch to me.
