Further update on this issue... NT Support indicated there is a workaround to make renko bar type work with tick replay. Sim22's dont' work and neither do Ninza's free ones. I just paid up to get RJ's spectrum bars I can confirm that they work brilliantly... RJ is a great coder. These bars are precise and fast... highly recommend.. you can get them at innovativetradingsolutions.com

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

If you still need the jprUniRenkoBarCloses script, I have converted it to NT8. Try the following link at

I started using Sim22's Unirenko bars and I find after some time my platform starts running very slowly and freezing. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, they are unstable, as are many of the indicators in the free download section, my experience with Sim22's indicators anyways... Only the Fat Tails indicators can be depended upon for stability.. but those are the only one's I have tried, Sim's and FT's... If you want good indicators you have to pay for them, and through the teeth these days, the major downside with NT platform.. I highly recommend a better platform, or learn how to code ninja script well and make yourself a fortune...

Thanks, have you or anyone else tried the free one from Ninza.co? I saw the video on youtube and someone in the comments mentioned the settings are customizable so it's like unirenko.

Thanks, but this is for NT7 right? I'm looking for one for NT8.

It sounds like they have a bad reputation, do they cause issues or unreliable or both?

A file that has a ".dll" extension is a compiled file, meaning it is in a format that your PC can read, but human beings can't. When an indicator is created, the first step is to write its "source code" in a C# program (in a file with an extension of ".cs"), which is human-readable, and then compile it into a compiled file so it will be read and run by a computer.

If all you have is the compiled (dll) file, then you can't take a look at the source code and so you don't know what's in it.

Vendors will usually only provide a dll file for a purchased (or free) indicator, so no one can read their source code and steal it. This makes sense, and if you get an indicator from a vendor, you will almost always get a dll. If you know and trust them, then it's probably OK. But since no one knows what a dll really contains, and no one can look into it an find out, it can also contain malicious code, including viruses. Or, it may just be badly written and it can't be corrected since there is no source code.

That's why it's FIO policy to not post dll files in the forum. Is using one a good idea if it's just for your own use? If you know and are willing to trust the vendor, it's your risk only, so you can decide. This is true no matter whether the dll was offered free or not, although I guess you could have more doubts about something that was free. But if you post one, it can become other people's risk also.

So it's not inherently bad, but it shouldn't be posted here. For all the same reasons, it's probably best not to be over-trusting of something you see on the internet, without knowing something about the source.

Bob.
