How to distribute other custom files with NinjaTrader?

[alex.nt]

Hi,

E.g., I need to add an png-image that my custom indicator/strategy uses.
Is it possible to add a custom file to the generated ZIP-file?

Thank you!

Hello alex.nt,

Thank your for your post.

This requires custom plotting by overriding the Plot method. For information on this concept please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ad.php?t=51368

Please let me know if you have any questions.

What? I mean how can I add a custom file into the exported ZIP-archive?

I have a PNG file that I use with custom rendering in my strategy. However, when I manually add it to the generated zip-archive, the import fails.

So how do I do that?

Hello alex.nt,

Manually add it into the .zip archive.

if I add a png-file into the zip-archive then such archive cannot be imported.

Any help?

Hello alex.nt,

Thank you for your response.

I see, I cannot import an image either. I did some further research and it looks like you can embed an image into a custom assembly: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.71).aspx

There is no method to do this in the Export NinjaScript window.

Sorry, yes, I know that I can make a separate assembly for that but that seems to be an overkill.
Anyways, thank you for your help.
