That is not the source code of the indicator 'CustomTrader'.
(That source code is part of the distribution package, and is
only designed to provide details of the parameters for calling
-- it is not the source code of the implementation.)

What you have cannot be converted since it is incomplete.

My suggestion?
Contact the original authors of 'CustomTrader' for an NT8
version.

Hello fahadishfaq,

This is correct, what you provided is just the generated part of a NinjaScript file. If this is from a third party item you would need to reach out to that developer to see if they have an updated version. We generally can assist with guidance on how to convert specific parts of nt7 to nt8 code but we would need the full script to assist with questions. In the future if you do have an open source script which you need to convert and have questions this would be a good place for that.

You can find a code breaking changes guide in the help guide if you are interested in learning the differences between 7 and 8: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ng_changes.htm

Thanks for your quick response. Actually yes, this is from a third party. I'll try to get the source code file again and will get back to you. Once again thank you so much.
