I have received an indicator that is a variation of an existing NT indicator. The person sending it to me has used it for a long time. The indicator was sent to me as 2 files. One is a .dll file and the other a .cs file. The Import Ninja Script does not work with this as far as I can tell. In what folders in NT should these files be dropped into to make the indicator work? I tried putting the files into a folder and zipping that folder and then using Import Ninja Script but that didn't work.

Thank you
Mark

.cs goes in My Documents\NinjaTrader XX\bin\custom\indicator
.dll likely goes in Documents\NinjaTrader XX\bin\custom
Open the indicator via Tools > Edit > NinjaScript
Add a reference to this DLL by right clicking > References in the NinjaScript Editor
Then press F5 to compile

Hi NinjaTrader Ray,

I've tried to follow your directions, but I don't have the files on my NT platform that you are describing. /bin/custom has only /backup and /snippet in it, no /indicator. I've looked all through the files and still no indicator file. Please help...tks pkchilly

Your are looking at the wrong directory. Please look for <my documents> and not <program files>.
