You will need to download all parts before extraction.
Dowload and unzip all files in NT 8 replay folder Documents\NinjaTrader 8\db\replay
Once an individual part has been downloaded it needs to be renamed according to the number in its sequence
For example, if you are downloading CL 08-21 part 2 of 3, once that file has finished downloaded, you need to rename it into "CL 08-21.7z.002"
Once all files have been downloaded and renamed, right-click on the first one and select "extract here"
Make sure to use the "Extract here" function as shown, and not the "Extract to" function, to avoid the creation of a folder within a folder
The archive will create a folder with the relevant front month and a series of .nrd files inside (one per day)
Note: the archive contains only the dates with the most volume for this contract, meaning, this is data relevant only to when the contract becomes the front month.

Hi everyone,
After silently getting a lot of value from this forum, I thought I'd better start giving back some.
I am new to NT8 programming and started by modifying the ToggleTrades indicator found here, hoping to improve it.
It's a nice little helper button that can quickly let you toggle between seeing/hiding your executions on a chart, without going inside the settings.
Key changes for version 1.2:
- fixed a bug (more of a missing feature, really), where the indicator, if added to one tab, would show on all the tabs but only work on the original tab. Now it'll only show on the tab where you added it
- added the "Markers" option, so now it'll cycle between all 3 possible modes, "No Markers", "Markers", "Markers&Text"
- added a parameter to decide if you want to see the icon or a button
- added parameters to customise the text you see inside the button for each mode (visible text reflects current mode)
- new icon with red/green colours
Installation:
Nothing fancy here, you just import it like any regular NT8 indicator.
One additional step: you have to copy the PNG file to your NinjaTrader folder, usually in Documents/NinjaTrader8/, after extracting it from the archive
To do: I am not sure I'll ever get to it, but I'd like to:
- be able to mix both modes: show the icon inside the button with text next to it
- be able to tweak the colours for the button
- find a way to embed the icon inside the code so one doesn't have to manually copy it to a separate folder
current version is 1.1 posted July 25, 2023
--- Seamlessly Link Orders to Visible Chart Plots
This indicator links any order to visible chart plots. It achieves, with minor differences, what the native application Ninjatrader does, but in a more intuitive manner.
It also adds a custom grid with three UI controls: 'Tie,' 'Untie,' and 'Offset' to the ChartTrader panel. By clicking the 'Tie' button while holding down the shift-key, the user can toggle the 'Modify toward the last price' option ON and OFF.
Once imported you'll find it within a folder named "TrendIsYourFriend/tiyfOrderLasso"
There is no parameter to set when you add it to a chart.
I created a thread if you'd like to discuss it right here.
I have posted a short video on YouTube showcasing it in action:

This is another Exponential Moving Average indicator that shows the average value of a security's price over a period of time. This is converted from NT7 per this thread:

The attached file is a function that scales and center raw values between a range of +50/-50. This is a derivative work from the book Statistically Sound Machine Learning for Algorithmic Trading of Financial Instruments by David Aronson and Timothy Masters. The function follows the concept of "Historical Adjustment to Improve Stationarity". An example of use of this scaling can be found in the indicator section in the multicharts section. -JZ
