Custom Indicator Training Course

[fawzanalim]

Is there any videos/article that describes A to Z process of creating Custom Indicators for NT8? And is there any course or book available?

Hi fawzanlim,

I don't know if there is a course out there, but this video goes over the basics. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBYh0p2gOJk
From there you want to familiarize yourself with C#. This is an objected oriented programming language that NinjaTrader 8 uses. There are numerous courses and tutorials on C#. See https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-c-sharp

Overall just get your hands dirty. NinjaTrader documentation is not the greatest for the advanced tricks however support is very helpful for problems you may run into. Coding itself is trial and error with a lot of Googling. I'd suggest honing your skills in describing problems. Of course, you can explore the indicators that have been included with NinjaTrader 8.

Hope this helps!

I would recommend learning C# by watching Mosh Hamedani's videos on Udemi. I think he has a couple free videos on YouTube too. I went through the Beginner through Advanced classes in a couple days and it made going through Ninjascripts a lot easier. Ninjatrader's documentation on the code itself is also very useful once you understand the flow. Hope this helps.

Edit: Also have to give kudos to Ninjacoding.net as he walks through some of his own custom scripts. I would get to know C# in general first and then head on over to Yuri for specific Ninjatrader coding.

Hello fawzanalim,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

I recommend starting with the Strategy Builder 301 and NinjaScript Editor 401 training videos to get started.

Below is a link to a forum post with helpful information about getting started with NinjaScript that includes links to these videos.
