Hello Chilectro29,

Thank you for your post.

It looks like this script wasn't made with NinjaScript. You are missing some necessary methods for a NinjaScript, such as OnStateChange(). Also, the constructor has overload parameters that are going to cause issues with the wrapper.

OnStateChange() - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tatechange.htm

OnBarUpdate() - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nbarupdate.htm

To get started with coding NinjaScript, please check out this forum post, which includes video guides:
