Converting from prorealtime.com

[strewthmate]

Hi there

I wrote some code for the software that prorealtime.com uses (and IG Index), but I'm baffled by Ninja traders code.

I was wondering if someone could help me convert the following code so I can better learn exactly where the differnces are?

Before I go on, http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...sAndConditions talks about automatically inserting actions and conditions, but when I right click, the insert action/ condition option isn't there. Am I missing something?

Here's the code I need converting in the original format:

KC refers to the respective Keltner channels
Bollingerup is the upper bollinger band.

It's a simple binary indicator.
The second is an average of the momentum oscilator
You probably won't need the first couple of lines. They were needed because Prorealtime didnt have a Keltner channel indicator built in.

The Squeeze

UpperKC = average [20](close) + 1.5*averagetruerange[20](close)
LowerKC = average [20](close) - 1.5*averagetruerange[20](close)

condition1 = BollingerUp[20](close) < UpperKC
condition2 = bollingerdown[20](close) > LowerKC

IF Condition1 then

a=1
elsif condition2 then

a=1

else
a=0
endif
return a coloured(0,0,225)

The Momentum Oscilator

RETURN exponentialAverage[5](Momentum[12](close))

I hope someone can help. I find prorealtime to be quite logical and am hoping someone can help me by converting. I learn best this way, so sorry if it appears I'm being lazy.

Thank you for your help

Dave, please try pressing F2 in your NinjaScript editor to be able to access the 'Insert Snippet' function.

Before attempting to convert custom code, it might be helpful to review those tutorials we have created for a smooth start in NinjaScript -

An SMA of Period 20 using default close prices as input would be this -

 
double value = SMA(20)[0];

Hello Bertrand,

I was as well looking into converting codes/indicators from the Pro Real Time platform onto Ninja Trader 7, with no success so far, If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
P.S the link you posted -http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verview18.html- does not open to anything helpful but to some search page instead.

Nico.
