Use reference images

Some indicator ideas are easier to explain with a chart than with text alone. The Build Indicator and Convert Indicator tasks therefore allow you to attach a reference image when the selected AI model supports image input.

An image can show the desired plot style, signal markers, colours, panel placement or the visual behaviour of an indicator from another platform. It should support a written request, not replace it. Explain what each visible element means and which parts must be reproduced in NinjaTrader.

Choose a compatible model

The upload control explains when the current model cannot accept images. Change to a supported vision model before attaching the file. Model capabilities can change, so use the state shown in Xen rather than assuming that every model in the selector accepts images.

For a useful result, crop the screenshot to the relevant chart area and make labels readable. Avoid including account numbers, personal details or other information that the model does not need. If colours carry meaning, describe that meaning in the request because screenshots can be interpreted differently across displays.

After Xen returns the indicator, review the source and compare its output with the reference inside NinjaTrader. A visual match alone does not confirm that calculations or signals are equivalent.
