Stoch Momentum Indicator

I checked all items.

1. Data is on the chart. Futures and stocks
2. Recompiled script, again. It says sucessful. No error logs.
3. No errors in control panel log is I run a Future Contract.
If I run a stock I get the following:

"Error on plotting Indicator" StochasticMomentumIndex". Please check the 'onbarupdate' or the 'plot' method. Overflow error."

I am attaching the file used to compile. If you have time to look at it I would appreciate it.

Hi rtj4201,

that kind of error message is delivered when a runtime exception occures. I suspect a variable was overflowing (illegal calculation result, too many increments). Have a look at the trace-file in the NT trace directory. Usually you could find there a stack report describing the exception in more detail.

I am new to Ninjascript. I will get there. But I haven't studied it enough to find the information that you have noted. Is there anyway you could be a little more detailed so I can find a way to begin?

Hello rtj4201,

I suggest to take a look at the forum thread below that addresses a similar issue.

Yes, follow Jason's links they give you some guidance regarding the debugging process. And have a look at the trace file of the day when the exception occured. You find these files in the 'trace'-directory of the NT installation, one trace file for every trading day.

Doesn't it seem odd that the indicator works just fine for Futures contracts and does not work for stocks.

What does that indicate?

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

I tested the custom indicator on my end on a AAPL 1 minute chart and the indicator plotted on my end.

I suggest to delete the indicator and re-import it and check if this will make a difference.

hi, it also happens to me that this indicator doesnt plot.
this happens in some futures. its not only to you, rtj4201 !

It is evident there is a bug with the indicator. It may be best for you guys to try and come into contact with the original author of the indicator. Unfortunately we cannot provide any support for this 3rd party indicator.

[rtj4201]

Ok, I will try and work thru the original submitter. By the way, I have reloaded and recompiled this thing a number of times.

The first time, even the Futures would not work, then the Futures started working.

Oh, well.

I would really like to have this indicator available but do not have the compile function on my NT version.

Can someone post the zip file here for easy import of this indicator?

Thanks for your help and great work!

All I had to do was open the indicator after it was moved (Tools>Edit Ninjascript>Indicator) select StochasticMomentumIndex to open it and then right-click anywhere inside the text. That gave the compile option in a drop-down menu.

I suggest to delete the indicator via Tools-->Edit NinjaScript-->Indicator.

Jason,
I'm trying to follow your instructions to delete this indicator (since it doesn't work for me), but when I go to "Tools", I see no "Edit Ninjascript" option (I'm using NT version 6.5.1000.14). Instead, all I see is:

Tools
Instrument Manager
Historical Data
Account Connections
Options

Where is the "Edit Ninjascript" or is this command on an earlier or later version of Ninja?
Thanks, Tasuki

Forgive my igorance ()
What does TOS stand for? Just curious.
