I have a script I found online of an indicator I have been looking for. Unfortunately I have no background in coding and not exactly sure on how I can import this text into a working indicator for NT7. I would appreciate any guidance on importing this to work with NT7. I have the copy of the script as it was presented on the webpage:

Its a Trade Volume Index [TVI] indicator

 
Code

using System;
