Can't Find Documentation on Creating Indicators

[trader_rick]

Is it just me?

I can find the documentation on and successfully build a strategy, same thing for using the Strategy Analyzer but I can't for the life of me find the same thing for indicator development. Only language references which gives you no overview of how to put things together.

There is no documentation on how to use the New Indicator Wizard for example, though there is for the Strategy Builder. NT7 seems to be better documented to me in this respect.

I suppose I'll have to look at the built-in indicators for guidance, but if there is an overview I missed, please could somebody point it out to me.

thanks

Hello trader_rick,

Thanks for your post.

The NinjaTrader 8 Help Guide does not contain indicator and strategy tutorials like were present in the NiinjaTrader 7 help guide.

The New Indicator Wizard which will essentially create a template for your indicator with all user inputs, plots, and additional data created by the Wizard. For more information on how the wizards are used, please see the documentation page below.

NinjaScript Wizards - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../ns_wizard.htm

For a general overview of NinjaScripts and differences between what is used in NinjaTrader 7, our Code Breaking Changes page of the help guide can be referenced.

We do have a pending feature request to include tutorials similar to those from the NT7 help guide. The ticket ID for the request is SFT-1929 and I have added a vote on your behalf. We cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment, but we are tracking interest and the ticket ID number will be noted in the help guide when the feature request is fulfilled.
