Anyway to get this indicator to work with NT8

[islandwizard]

This indicator creates HL and HH on the chart in NT ver 7. I tried to import to ver 8 but it says was created in older version and will not import. I think I need to stay on NT 7 if I cant use my indicators. Is there any way to get this to work in NT 8 or is there a different one that works for NT 8?

Hello islandwizard,

Thanks for opening the thread.

I am not aware of an indicator on our forums that accomplishes this exact task, but looking at the code, it does not look like it would be very complicated to convert. Another user on the forums may have input for an indicator that exists elsewhere as well.

If you have a programming background, you can reference the Code Breaking changes page of the NinjaTrader 8 help guide to reference which methods and properties need to be converted. As it looks, the biggest change may be that DrawText() will need to be adapted to Draw.Text().

If you would like to consider hiring a professional to do the conversion for you, I could have a member of our Business Development team reach out with a list of NinjaScript Consultants who would be happy to do the conversion for you.

If there is anything else I can do to provide further assistance, please let me know.

Thanks for your response. I have 1 more indicator that I use, so I may stay with NT ver 7 for now since I don't program.
