It works fine in Ninja7 but when i try to import in Ninja6.X it gives me version error now thats understood so i tool manual way to copy indicators and strategy in bin/custom/indicator & strategy folder and edit and Compile but it Gives now compliation error.

"the type or namespace name GridCategory couldnt be found , Are you missing a using Directive or assembly reference?" Error Cs0246

Can somebody show me how to make this works in ninja6.x version.

Hi jkpdon,

In 6.5 it should be Category rather than GridCategory.

Example from NT 6.5 SampleMaCrossOver

/// <summary>
/// </summary>
[Description("Period for fast MA")]
[Category("Parameters")]
public int Fast
{
	get { return fast; }
	set { fast = Math.Max(1, value); }
}

Thanks got that solved but now OnStartUp() No suitable method found to override!

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

OnStartup() was introduced in 7 and would need to be removed from any 6.5 code.

You should be able to have equivalent functionality by moving the code that's currently there into OnBarUpdate() section, but only for the first bar.

if (CurrentBar == 0)
{
//place all OnStartUp() code here
}

it followed by bunch of errrors called The name "Medians" does not exist in the current context
The name "Closes" does not exist in the current context

I see. It sounds like too much of the script uses properties/methods that are only available in NinjaTrader 7. I would try to identify the core of what it is you're looking for, and copy only those elements, or rework it with 6.5 compatibility in mind.

If you are not familiar with everything that would need to be done here, you may consider a NinjaScript consultant for this:
