Hello Paul,

Unfortunately, there would not be a way to do this in NinjaTrader.

It would be required that you check the box to select the specific scripts you would like included in the export, and there is not a way to include all scripts.

Is there some kind of tool, which allows me to merge all files into one, which is valid and I can compile using Ninjatrader?

Hello kujista,

I think Visual Studio can do this.

Below is a link to the 'Visual Studio Solution for AddOn Development' project.

Thanks could you please provide startup project for developing indicator - the same way as you have here? I gues i have source code out of Custom folder and in custom foler i only put dll of indicator? What is the idea behind please?

Thanks a lot

Hello kujista,

Unfortunately, this would be the only project like this I have to provide.

But I would recommend that you create the indicators in NinjaTrader. Then make a copy of the project, and copy the open source indicator and other open source files into the project folder and then include the files with the project in visual studio.

Using visual studio you can build the project and create dll assemblies.

Please note, our team is not able to assist with using Visual Studio.

Thanks Chelsea,

so I develop indicator in Custom folder - separated into multiple files. It compiles here, then, I move it outside this folder - using template you provided for AddOns and then make build - i will have dll file.

If this indicator uses another which is in Custom folder in dll state will it be working ok if i add it to reference?

I am wondering if i can make manually export zip file which consists of 2 dll files.

Hello kujista,

You also need to copy the assembly dll into the project and reference it.

Hi, I worked on having indicator out of Custom/Indicators folder. I create very similiar simple project here:



I added references -


But when i see the source code i have errors which at 1st do not know the indicator value - it is in ninjascript generated code section


and then, it does not know the indicators and also I cannot call it like this. Which does not happen when i have the file in Custom/Indicators.

Is there a way to solve this? I really would appritiate to have option to build indicators here and do not have to compile them by clicking every file in ninjascript compiler.

Thanks a lot for advices.

Hello Pavel,

The issue is the 'indicator' reference in the auto generated code is referencing something internal in NinjaTrader.
This cannot be accessed through a dll that I can see.

Removing lines 263 to 294 should be ok. But please let me know if this causes any issues using the indicator from a strategy or market analyzer I may not be aware of.
