EXPORT - a lot of indicators

[webus]

Hi there.

When developing a strategy or indicator, I use many other indicators. Further, when I export this software, every time I have to add all the indicators that are used by other indicators. This takes a considerable amount of time.

Is there a way to programmatically (through code) add all the indicators to the project without adding them to the "Export NinjaScript" window?

Hi webus, thanks for your question.

If your custom code is using a dependency indicator, the system should detect that and add the script for you. E.g. when I export my strategy that uses the SMA indicator it will automaticaly add the SMA dependency. Try this and see if it works.

There is not a programmatic way of exporting scripts built into the platform. One could write a C# program that can do it as all these exports are are .zip files.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

Hi NinjaTrader_ChrisL,

I think that I do not quite understand what you mean.
If I try to export a strategy that uses for example the SMA indicator and I did not add it to the archive - I will get an error and I can’t assemble it:


Could you pelase explain step-by-step what you meant?
How can this "automaticaly add the SMA dependency"?

Hi webus, thanks for your reply.

I attached my script that is exporting successfully. Copy the attached .cs file to Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Strategies>compile>go to Tools>Export NinjaScript addon. After you pick the file name and export it will add the @SMA script. NinjaTrader will try to detect what is needed but if that is not working the needed script must be added. To do a manual export, you can take the host script, the dependencies, and a file named info.xml (see attached, version info is critical. Unzip to view)>select all the files>Send to>Compressed zip file

Please let me know if I can assist any further.
