Hello bdelorm73,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Forums!

"Also I get errors when I try to import custom indicators on the Platform" This needs to be resolved first.

Please follow the instructions below to see where the errors are coming from after compiling the indicator. This will allow you to debug the indicator/strategy or remove it from your PC. If you are wondering why you receive an error when compiling only one indicator, it is because NinjaTrader always compiles all indicators and strategies - not just one. This is done to give you the highest runtime performance possible.

• Open NinjaTrader8
• From the Control Center select the New menu--> select NinjaScript Editor
• Double click on the Indicators folder--> then double click on any of the indicators
• Once the indicator code is in view right-click in the window and select Compile to compile all NinjaScript objects
• At the bottom of the NinjaScript Editor window, a new section will appear where you can find the error locations
• You can exclude the file referenced in the editor by double-clicking on the appropriate object type on the right of the NinjaScript Editor window. This will expand the object type folder. You can then select the file with a left click--> right click on the object--> then select Open to begin debugging the file, Exclude From Compilation, or Remove to delete the file.

If you are unsure as to what the error is indicating, please send me a screenshot of the NinjaScript File column and Error column fully visible (not to be confused with the Code column). You can send this directly via e-mail to PlatformSupport[at]NinjaTrader[dot]Com, Mark the e-mail Atten: Paul and please include a link to this forum thread for reference.

To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using Window's, Snipping Tool.

Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screenshot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

BetterVolume3 does not download here. Any suggestions? https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...ttervolume3-2/

Hello connorgrant5,

Thanks for your post.

I just tested and was able to download. Please make sure you temporarily turn off any pop-up blockers you have on as the download presents a pop-up window with terms and conditions that must be accepted before a blue download button is shown. Alternatively you might try switching to a different browser. I used both Chrome and Microsoft edge without issues.

I love what you did with this, but would it be possible to split ClimaxChurn into ClimaxChurnUp & ClimaxChurnDown?

Hello davydhnz,

Thanks for your post.

This NinjaTrader 8 indicator is a conversion of the BetterVolume3 indicator that was originally for NinjaTrader 7.

We cannot modify the indicator to split one of the plots into two separate plots since that would not be how the NinjaTrader 7 version was programmed.

That said, you could make modifications to the indicator yourself if you wish to change one plot into two separate plots. To add another plot, you would use the AddPlot() method. Then, you could assign a value to the added plot by calling Values[1][0] = x, where 'x' is the value you want to assign to the plot.

See this help guide documentation for more information about AddPlot(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/addplot.htm

Let me know if I may assist further.

Hello,
we have the possibility to insert the indicator with the volume with the different colors in an individual panel and another option of being able to see the price bars with the colors of the better.
Does anyone know if the panel with the volume and the better can be removed or omitted and only the better with the price bars appears?

[NinjaTrader_BrandonH]

Hello anmir55.

Thanks for your note.

To clarify, are you wanting to remove the plots that appear in panel 2 so that only the bars in the price panel change color based on certain calculations?

This would likely be possible but would require reworking the logic of the indicator to perform calculations without plotting values. You could consider assigning calculations to custom Series<double> variables instead of assigning them to plots. Then, you could change the color of the bars on the price panel using BarBrush.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.
BarBrush: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...8/barbrush.htm
Series<T>: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/seriest.htm

Let me know if I may assist further.

I thought it could be simpler, but rethinking the indicator is beyond my knowledge...perhaps some more advanced user thanks for your help

[Bob-Habanai]

Anmir55, what I do is pull the panel right down, yes you can still see like 1 pixel of it, but at least you save most of your screen space.

I'm not at the level yet to do what Brandon said, but hopefully one day

I downloaded the modified (for NT8) BetterVolume 3 indicator for NT8. Unfortunately, the colors for the volume bar do no sync with the colors for the candle stick price bars. I am not a coder, but any help would be appreciated to get them to sync. Thank you.
