Extra Toolbar

you have shared something i had been dreaming about for a year or so. this opens a whole world of possibilities. thaks a lot!!!!

is it possible to add another row on the toolbar. you have demonstrated that it is possible to add components to the existing toolbar.
i was thinking of the following
1. add another row to the toolbar so that i can add more components specific to my strategy.

You could use RichTextBox and then make up your own buttons. I did this for a customer a month or so back.

jtEconNews

Waking up an old and interesting thread here.

I think the jtEconNews indicator panel would make an excellent base for custom input/output GUI´s. That is, if it´s not to much hassle populating it with labels/buttons and coupling events to NT. I´ve send a PM the the author - j0hnth0m - and asked him if he would mind sharing his experience and that part of the jtEconNews code.

I´m forwarding this request to you NT guys as well. An indicator panel that can be populated with labels and buttons rather than the "standard" graphics would be appreciated.

I imported to Visual Studio 2013 and Ninja7 and this worked fine after the dll got added to references.

in reference to Foll's uploads in #24.

I was able to implement this successfully. Thanks Folls!

Does anyone know why this needs to be Built in .NET Framework 3? Is this a Ninja Trader requirement? I tried to build in 4 or greater, but NT chokes on it.

Thanks!

Thanks for the help! Here is a simple example of a Form made in Visual Studio and then used in a Ninja Strategy.

Read the text file. It explains how to install the example.

I wouldn't recommend attempting this idea unless you have some programming experience.

I hope it helps someone!

Hello,

This is because NinjaTrader 7 itself (and NinjaScript) was developed on the .NET 3.5 framework. There are additions and changes in .NET 4 that would be incompatible with the libraries used for NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaScript.

That was what I thought. Thanks for confirming.
