Pivot Boss CandleStick Indicators VBA to NinjaTrader

[bjames]

Hello,

I was wondering if the community would provide guidance for code conversion.
I'm new to NinjaTrader ( Previous TradeStation EL) and wanting to learn how to program for it.

Reading the book Secrets of a Pivot Boss, Frank Ochoa. (It's a good book and worth looking at) he provides code at in the Appendix but it's VBA. I've seen his pivot code out on the internet but not for his Candlestick code. I know and use NinjaTrader's candlestick indicators but I think turning his code into indicators this will help consolidate them.

I'm putting them up here in hopes that they can be converted so that I can see how it's done or the community can point me in the right direction that I can convert myself.

Conversion right now feels like a foreign language to me.

Wick Reversal System

#System

#PARAM "Body_Percentage", .25, .1, 1

If C>O
AND (O - L) >= ((C - O)) * Wick_Multiplier) _
AND (H - C) <= ((H - L)) * Body_Percentage) _

or C = O AND NOT C = H _
AND (H - L) >= ((H - C) * Wick_Multiplier) _
AND (H - C <= ((H - L) * Body_Percentage) _
or O = H AND C = H
AND H - L >= AVG(H-L, 50) Then
Signal = LongSignal

Else C < O_
AND (H - O) >= ((O - C) * Wick_Multiplier) _
AND (C - L) <= ((H - L) * Body_Percentage) _
OR C > O
AND (H - C) >= ((C - O) * Wick_Multiplier) _

Doji Reversal System

#System

#PARAM “Percentage”, .10

Dim fRangeHL As Single
Dim fRangeCO As Single

Thank you
Brett

If anybody has any questions, I have the book so that I can reference the questions.

Hello,
Unfortunately our support team would be unable to convert this indicator for you as we do not offer such services. We do have partners that would be able to program this for you or convert it for you. If you would like more information on them please let us know and I can have our partner affiliate contact you with more information.
We will leave this thread open as well in case a member of the forum would like to convert this for you.

Thanks Cody~ I wish this was something I knew.
I'm in the process of learning how to use C#, but this is something I don't really know where to look.
