Indicator not showing when attempting to add to a chart

[ziponline]

My successfully compiled custom indicator does not show up in the list when attempting to add it to a chart.
There are no compiler errors from the editor.
The file name of the indicator is the same as that inside the code.
I am new to this so maybe it's obvious - any thoughts?

Hello ziponline,

Thank you for your post.

If your indicators are not showing up in the list of indicators then that suggests there is an issue with the indicators themselves. Specifically, there is likely an error in OnStateChange().

Keep in mind that while it may compile successfully, the compiler cannot check "run time" logic errors, which can only occur when you run (or load) the strategy.

A good first step here is to check the "Log" tab of the Ninjatrader Control center and look for any errors related to the strategies as if there is a run time error is would show in the log tab.

If there are no log errors, check (in the Ninjascript editor open each strategy) to see if the indicators have the same name (IE you made a copy of the indicator and made your changes but unintentionally left the name the same as an existing one).

In general, you want the filename of the indicator (this is what Ninjascript editor uses to open the script) to be the same as the public class name and most importantly that inside OnStateChange and within State.SetDefaults, the Name = field (This is what the drop-down or strategy selector uses) shows the same name as the public class name.
