CustomHorizontalLinesSpace Addon

[Rosario]

Hello

I do not know if this is the right forum to this question, but it is not possible to reply in UserApp Submission one.

Anyone knows how to make this addon work? I have installed and it does not appear in my indicator list.

Thanks in advanced

Hello Rosario,

Thanks for your post.

When testing the AddOn on my end I also do not see the indicator noted on the User App Share page listed in the Chart > Indicators list.

I suggest reaching out to the developer of the AddOn directly to get information about how to use this script in NinjaTrader.

You could find the developer of the script (PaulMohn) noted on the User App Share page you shared a link to.

This forum thread will also be open for other community members to share their insights on the topic.

Hi,

SharpDXHelperExample should be listed instead of _CustomHorizontalLinesSpace from the chart indicators menu.

Hi Paul,

I added this add on using the import feature, got the following warning. Selected yes, restarted. No indicators under _CustomHorizontalLinesSpace or SharpDXHelperExample

Do you have any Log tab error showing on Control Center > Log tab?
If yes please post a screenshot or copy the error message.
That will help for a potential update.

Thanks.

Hello PaulMohn,

Thanks for your notes.

A NinjaScript indicator will display in the Indicators window based on the 'Name' property you set in OnStateChange() State.Defaults.

If you want the indicator's name in the Indicator window to be 'CustomHorizontalLinesSpace' you could set Name = "CustomHorizontalLinesSpace"; in OnStateChange() when the State == State.Default.

Is that the case with an indicator inside an addon?

Hello PaulMohn,

Thanks for your notes.

The file name of an indicator file should be set to the same name that you are using for the 'Name' property in State.SetDefaults().

For example, the indicator file name should be "CustomHorizontalLinesSpace" and the Name property in State.SetDefaults() should also be set to "CustomHorizontalLinesSpace".

This is the best practice so that there is no confusion between the file name of the indicator and the "Name" property which determines the name the indicator displays with.

If the indicator is called SharpDXHelper, you should rename the file to "CustomHorizontalLinesSpace" and make sure the "Name" property is set to the same name as the indicator file.

This explained the needed solution (including the related indicator in the addon export):

The attached .zip should work. I'll update the User Apps share version too.
