standard indicator enum, how to include to the custom assembly?

[raffu]

Hi,

This has to be easy but can't figure it out now, sorry


Simple indicator like:

public class TestCallZigZag : Indicator
{
protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
Description = @"Enter the description for your new custom Indicator here.";
Name = "TestCallZigZag";
Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;
IsOverlay = false;
DisplayInDataBox = true;
DrawOnPricePanel = true;
DrawHorizontalGridLines = true;
DrawVerticalGridLines = true;
PaintPriceMarkers = true;
ScaleJustification = NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ScaleJustification.Right;
//Disable this property if your indicator requires custom values that cumulate with each new market data event.
//See Help Guide for additional information.
IsSuspendedWhileInactive = true;


DeviationType = DeviationType.Points;
DeviationValue = 0.5;
UseHighLow = false;
}
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
//Add your custom indicator logic here.

ZigZag(DeviationType, DeviationValue, UseHighLow).HighBar(0,1, 256);
}


[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "DeviationType", GroupName = "NinjaScriptParameters", Order = 0)]
public DeviationType DeviationType
{ get; set; }

[Range(0, int.MaxValue), NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "DeviationValue", GroupName = "NinjaScriptParameters", Order = 1)]
public double DeviationValue
{ get; set; }

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "UseHighLow", GroupName = "NinjaScriptParameters", Order = 2)]
public bool UseHighLow
{ get; set; }




and if I compile that to dll
I have to add ZigZag that it compiles and that is okay

but I can't import that to NinjaTrader

Import failed The NinjaScript Archive File may contain duplicate method names that ... (and so on)


(probably because of that included ZigZag)


Any help?, please example, no jargon...

Hello raffu,

Thank you for the post.

It looks like that is due to how the enum is defined for the system indicator. The most simple fix is to make a duplicate of the ZigZag and then wrap the enum in a custom namespace. I have attached a sample that uses the CustomZigZag indicator which is just a copy of the original. It has the enum DeviationType put in a namespace CustomZigZagUtils so it can be called explicitly.

I tried exporting this and importing the compiled assembly and it was able to import for me.

Okay, Thanks.

I thought that there might be easier method for that as I just made a custom enum and used that ..

for some reason you can call ZigZag(DeviatonType.Points ...
and it automatically include that ZigZag in that way that it is possible to import. (no explicit include)
