Editing indicator to be used for Strategy

[Isarnil]

Hi,

I've previously executed an opening range strategy on another platform, which I'm presently trying to import to NinjaTrader.

Basically, I'm trying to trigger a long position if price crosses top of the 30 minute opening range, and a sell signal if it crosses the bottom.

I've found the attached OpeningRangeIndicator, which seems to be suitable for plotting the opening range. However, it is not possible to use it in the strategy creator. From what I understand, it doesn't "plot" the opening range in the data, which disqualifies it from usage in the Strategy Creator.

How do I make it usable for the Strategy Creator so I can create my crossover strategy? I'm learning a bit slower than I would like to.

Thanks in advance,
Emil

Hi, thanks for posting. You would need to call AddPlot() within this indicator to give it plots, then fill in the plots with the values being used to draw the line objects. It looks like the values it is using are called "dUpperRange" and "dLowerRange". One simple example of how to add and fill in a plot is the SMA indicator, which can be studied through the NinjaScript Editor.

Kind regards.
