Setting up a stand alone Visual Studio Indicator project

[mattbsea]

I am trying to set up a stand alone Visual Studio indicator project based on the sample AddOn project.

I update the solution by removing the add-on project XAML and CS, and added my new indicator class file. It is based on code from the NinjaScript Editor.

I can build the solution and it copies the DLL to NinjaTrader, but after restarting NinjaTrader, I do not see my indicator in the list of Indicators for my chart.

When I go to Tools -> "Remove NinjaScript Assembly...", I see my indicator listed.

What changes do I need to make to the sample Add On project to develop an Indicator?

Hi Brandon,

My ultimate goal is to develop the indicator in Visual Studio, separate from the NinjaTrader.Custom solution (the one that opens in visual studio from the ninja script editor). That is, in a stand-alone visual studio project.

I ended up finding a solution:

1. In visual studio, create a class library and use .NET Core - any version
2. Edit the solution file as XML and change the TargetFramework to net48
3. Add references to NinjaTrader

Seems to be working so far.

Thanks,
Matt
