NT7 to NT8 Round Numbers Indicator Conversion

[gregorious13]

Hello,

I am trying to convert the NT7 round numbers indicator to NT8. However, I have little to no coding experience. Is there anyone that could possibly give me some guidance. Thank you for your time.

Hello gregorious13,

Thanks for your post.

When converting scripts, my advice is to start by creating as much of the script as possible in NinjaTrader 8 using the Indicator Builder. To create a NinjaScript indicator, open a New > NinjaScript Editor window, select the '+' tab at the bottom of the Editor window, select 'New Indicator'. Then, you could set up as much of the indicator as possible in the Indicator Builder. This will create the framework of the indicator or strategy.

Then copy all code from the NinjaTrader 7 scripts OnBarUpdate to the OnBarUpdate of the NinjaTrader 8 script. This will introduce errors that will need to be resolved.

Below I am including a link to a list of the code-breaking changes from NinjaTrader 7 to NinjaTrader 8.

The help guide will be the best way to see how things have changed from NinjaTrader 7 to NinjaTrader 8.

Below is a link to a forum post with helpful information about getting started with NinjaScript.

Something to keep in mind is public override void Plot() in the script you shared is now OnRender() in NinjaTrader 8, you can find information at the following link: https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/onrender.htm

Note that the script you shared does use some unsupported code which would go outside the support we would be able to provide you with in the Support department at NinjaTrader.

Hi gregorious13 , Did you solve the problems and are you willing to share the result of the indicator? I can't program and also want the round numbers indicator for NT8.
Kind regards, Erik
