Installation, Upgrades & Removal

installation

1. Open NinjaTrader and go to the main control window (the one with the main program menu) and select Tools | Import | NinjaScript Add-On... [Installation screenshot 1]

2. Navigate and find the ZIP file you downloaded. Select it and click "Open". NinjaTrader will install the file for you.

3. Assuming there are no errors, you should see a dialog box saying "NinjaTrader successfully imported all scripts contained in the NinjaScriptArchive File." [Installation screenshot 2]

4. That's it, you're done!

upgrading

Upgrading involves removing the previous version and then installing the new version just as you did in the initial installation.

You MUST remove the previous version or NinjaTrader will fail to perform the upgrade. If you don't remove the previous version, you will see a dialog box saying "Import failed..." [Screenshot showing upgrade error]

1. Follow the steps in the "Uninstallation" section below to remove the current (old) version.

2. Now, follow the steps in the "Installation" section above to install the newest version. Just make sure you choose the newest ZIP (it will have the highest version number) and that will do the "upgrade" for you. Upgrading really is just installing the latest version. Your existing templates will be unaffected and will be automatically reapplied after the upgrade.

removal

It is recommended you remove any custom indicators from within NinjaTrader instead of deleting the file manually (though I've never experienced any problems manually deleting files). We will go through the recommended procedure here.

for packaged DLL versions (v2.0 and later)

1. On the main NinjaTrader Control Center window (the one with the main program menu), select Tools | Remove NinjaScript Assembly [DLL uninstallation screenshot 1]

2. A new window will appear asking you to select which assembly you want to remove. Select ABTriplePlay_version (where '_version' is the currently installed version number) and click "Remove". [DLL uninstallation screenshot 2]

3. NinjaTrader will display a confirmation dialog box asking if you're sure. You are. Say Yes.

4. Assuming no errors, you will get a success message. Click OK to close the dialog box. [DLL uninstallation screenshot 3]

5. Click CLOSE on the "Remove NinjaScript Assembly" dialog box to close it. [DLL uninstallation screenshot 4]

6. AB-TriplePlay is now uninstalled. If you removed the indicator as part of the upgrade process, please follow the "Installation" section above to complete the upgrade.

for packaged script file version (v1.0)

1. On the main NinjaTrader Control Center window (the one with the main program menu), select New | NinjaScript Editor [Uninstall screenshot 1]

2. On the right-side of the NinjaScript Editor window you will see a panel called NinjaScript Explorer. In that panel, you will see a list of folders. If you don't see a tree display but instead see a vertical tab labelled NinjaScript Explorer, click it to expand the panel. [Uninstall screenshot 2]

3. In the NinjaScript Explorer panel, double-click on the Indicators folder to expand it, if necessary, and find the ABTriplePlay folder. Double-click to expand this folder.

4. Right-click on the ABTriplePlay FOLDER and select Remove. [Uninstall screenshot 3]

5. NinjaTrader will ask if you are sure you want to remove the FOLDER and will warn that all scripts within will be lost. This is what we want. Say Yes.

6. NinjaTrader will recompile its scripts and, assuming no errors, you will get a success message.

7. Review the NinjaScript Explorer panel and notice that 'ABTriplePlay' no longer appears in the 'Indicators' folder. You may close this window now.

8. AB-TriplePlay is now uninstalled. I would recommend restarting NinjaTrader just to 'clean-up' entirely, but this is completely optional.

Using In NinjaTrader

You add the indicator to your chart like any other. In a chart window, right-click and select Indicators to open your indicators panel. Now look for a folder called ABTrading (in version 1.0 this folder is called ABTriplePlay) on the left side of the window. Double-click to open the folder and then double-click on the version of the indicator you have installed (you should only ever have one version). You can then customize any options you want and click 'OK' to add the indicator. You may change any options or remove the indicator at any time by opening your indicators panel again.

Tips & Ticks

• You can select Display in Data Box in the Indicators Properties Grid if you want the price levels to show up in your Data Box. This is disabled by default.

• ALL times you see and set in the properties grid are in your local timezone. Keep this in mind!

• If you want an outline around your labels instead of an opaque/semi-opaque background box, simply set the Box opacity to zero. This will only draw an outline.

• Remember that your lines will only appear starting at the Trade start time. If you don't see lines, scroll forward to the start time and you'll see them. I did this so you don't accidentally trade before the set time... if you don't see lines you won't be tempted :-)

• PLEASE feel free to make suggestions for new features, changes to existing ones, report any bugs/issues or provide any feedback you'd like. You can email me using the links on this site or, if you are familiar with git, you can file an issue in the git repo.
