I think I see people using it on NT8. Maybe someone else can help with that.

Yes Unirenko is available on NT8 as well.

Hello, it's my first post.
Forgive me if I do something wrong. I will learn it over time.
I'm trying to move to ninjatrader8 and try to adapt the NT 7 a NT8 indicator. I used a program to adapt it automatically but these are the errors after compiling.
The name of the original indicator is (jprUniRenkoBarClosesV2).
I attach the errors after the compilation.
Thanks for your help

@bofnos, I am not a coder so cannot fully assist you.

Brushes.Empty was replaced with Brushes.Transparent. Whenever you see an issue with brushes you should be able to delete back to the word "Brushes" then re-enter the period "." and there should be a drop down with options. Transparent is Empty OR Clear.

Your other "Regex" ones seem like they are naming issues based on your original indi name versus your current one. But not sure that can be determined without seeing the code. Try renaming them based on your indi name.

No idea about "Match"

UPDATE: Tried to take the assistance further by looking for the original indicator. Thought I had it in this post:

@Ricky H: "... but I relly wanted t avoid an Hline going all the way across my uni-renko chart. "

There is actually value in having a Horizontal Line. You can easily see prior support and resistance areas. But, since you insist, I made some changes to UniRenkoBarCloses which hopefully will do what you want. See attached jprUniRenkoBarClosesV2.zip.

But my NT7 loaded the type but would not run on a chart. I always prefer someone point me to the original file if they did not change the file they are using - in order to minimize extraneous, unneeded files. Can you put the URL for your original file here?

1) you can't run translate program for advance script like unirenko only works(almost) for some simpler script.

I will take a look at this, if you still need help, within the next few days. Got other activities to handle first.

So after reading over this thread I'm still unsure about which universal renko bar is the best to use with NT8. Is sim22's unirenko indicator in the NT8 download section from a few years ago accurate with volume and delta/ticks and stable to use with NT8?

Thanks

I use this one, it is from the NinjaTrader Forum and made by NinjaTrader_ChelseaB.
Unfortunately I can't find that post again.

Thanks Michael,

Is this one somehow better than sim22's unirenko for nt8 available in the download section?

Hi @jmcg618

In the beginning of NT8 (Beta) I had some issue with sim22 unirenko, so I found this one. Maybe now with the NT8 live version the other one is working to.

Once you have installed the bar type Unirenko, you have to shutdown NinjaTrader and restart for Unirenko to appear in your DataSeries bar types window. If it does not appear in the list of bar types (Minute, Range, Volume, Tick, etc.) you may have a custom bar type installed that is the same type as Unirenko, thus preventing it from showing up in your DataSeries window.

Hi Wizard,

I've just installed a fresh copy of NT8, and the sim22 unirenko is the second indicator I have installed. The first was ama keltner and it is working. The unirenko bars did not show up in my bar types drop down after restarting, however. What could be the cause of that? Thanks

Restart it again, there are 2 steps for bar type, a)compile successfully b)restart, import successfully is the same as step a.
edit: seems like you already did step b but try restart it again doesn't hurt.
