After the NinjaTrader 8 trading terminal is launched, let’s start importing the indicator and adding it to the chart. In the main control center window, we look for the tools button, then in the drop-down list we look for the import button, go to it and click on the NinjaScript Addon button in another drop-down list. In the opened profile book, we find our zip archive with the indicator and click open. After the pop-up information window from NinjaTrader, your indicator has already been added to the platform. Now we want to add our indicator to the chart, go to the charts window and find the indicator icon in the top bar of the window. You have a window on the left side with a list of indicators with the right settings for a particular indicator, our task is to find our indicator in the left list and click on it 2 times, then it appeared in the lower left window, at this very moment we have the ability to specify the parameters of the selected indicator. The parameters of all indicators are different, but they all also have common parameters, for example, a series of data and a panel where we want to place the indicator on the chart itself or below it. If we want to see the indicator under the chart, we need to select the panel->new panel in the field. As a rule, the platform automatically substitutes a series of data depending on which financial instrument is specified in the chart window, so when you have specified the necessary indicator settings, click ok and you will see the display of the indicator itself on the chart, and the name of your indicator with parameters will also appear in the upper left corner of the chart which you have indicated. And finally, an important point in the operation of the indicator, and indeed in the display of data, is perhaps the very first thing you need to connect to the data provider so that the quotes begin to display the price. That’s all for today, write questions in the comments if something is not clear, we will be happy to answer. You can see our indicators in the store.
