Attention!

Is there an easy way to rename custom indicators? I'd like all my custom indicators to be grouped together and I thought that I would rename them all with the same prefix. Thanks.

I would not call this easy but here is how I would do it:

- Open up the indicator you want to rename Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Indicator
- Within the Editor, right click and select "Save As..."
- Provide the new name
- In the Editor, change the Class name and the Display Name
- Compile
- Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Indicator select the old one and press the "Delete" button

** Make sure when you save the file as a new name that you change the class name and description. If you do not at least change the class name you will get compile errors.

It's considerably easier than starting over and cutting and pasting which I was thinking of doing. Thanks for the help.
