Is anyone interested in converting this NT7 bar code into NT8?

I hope someone will give you a hand with this. In the meantime, here are some suggestions that may improve your chances:
1, (And by far the most important) -- If you want some programming help, do not ever just print out the code in a post window. Why? Because it does not indent the lines properly, and it produces a huge blob of text that no one can read and that no one is going to try to figure out.
This is not your fault. It is the fault of the software, but take my word for it as a long-time programmer, the code as you are showing it is unreadable. This is actually worse than it seems, because when you copy/paste the code into the post window, it looks like it's indented OK. It just renders like this big mess when you hit Submit.
Instead, either export the indicator code in a zip file, or better yet, locate the .cs file (if you don't know what I'm talking about, just use the .zip export), and attach that file, without printing it, to your request. Why? Because anyone who is going to work on the indicator will need it as a file, not as text they have to copy off the screen, so make it easier for them.
2. Since you are an Elite member, you have access to the free NT7 to 8 thread, so you can make your post there and have a better chance of it being looked at. Here"s the link:
As we near the release of NinjaTrader 8, I wanted to post this notice and provide a thread for conversion requests.
As you know, NT7 indicators will not work in NT8 without modification. Some will require only very minor tweaks that may …
3. Show someone who is reading your post some reason why they should want to help. Usually traders like cool things on charts, so one thing you could do would be to put up a screen shot showing that this is a cool indicator that does something interesting, Or, you could simply add a description of what it does and why you think it's something that is useful. If you don't do something to engage someone else's interest, all you're doing is asking them to do some extra work for you without telling them why they should care. Not the best idea.
I hope you are successful in getting your code converted. These ideas may help you.
Bob.
