    Indicator not showing up in NT Strategy Builder

    Hello,

    I downloaded this indicator, it shows up fine on regular chart, but when I want to build a strat with it in builder it doesn't show as an option!

    This is the indicator:

    This indicator draws horizontal Support/Resistance lines at various price levels, above and below the market, where price historically created swing High/Low pivots multiple times, creating support and resistance as price action bounced off of those levels.

    That's probably because it doesn't have any plots. Only indicators with plots or series outputs can be accessed from a strategy or from Strategy Builder.

    However, you could easily download the source code to that and add plot outputs for those numbers. Then they would show up in Strategy Builder.

      Thanks for responding, I can see the code just by downloading this and choosing to see the indicator's code, however I am not much of an expert on NT coding and C sharp in general, any chance you have some specific tips around this if I paste the code here?

        Hello gummybar,

        Thanks for your post.

        Only indicators that contain plots made by the AddPlot() method can be seen and used in a Strategy Builder strategy.

        If the indicator does not contain plots by calling AddPlot(), the indicator will not be visible in the Strategy Builder.

        To add a plot to an indicator, you would use the AddPlot() method and assign the value you want to that plot by calling Value[0] = X, where 'X' is the value you want to assign to the plot.

        Open-source indicators could be modified in a New > NinjaScript Editor window.

        See this help guide page for more information and sample code: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/addplot.htm

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