I added the indicator to a chart, but all I get is a thin line across the chart

Please toggle your ‘AutoScale’ parameter in the indicator settings. The indicator might have a plot that has values from 0 up. If you scale this into your chart, you will have a scale from 0 to price, which will result in a very narrow line across the screen, which is all the candles squished up. The data series typically has autoscale on for price charts anyway, so disable autoscale in the indicator and you should see the chart scale correctly.

Here is an example of manually adjusting NinjaTraders chart scale with the mouse and the ctrl key. Hold the ctrl key down to move the scale up and down, then click and hold with the mouse only to adjust the scale

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points that can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect trading results.
