Hello kenyee65,

Thank you for your post.

I'm not aware of one, but it does look like there's code there available at the link you provided that could fairly easily be converted to NinjaScript. We in the support department cannot convert it for you, but if you'd like to try converting it yourself we're happy to provide resources that can assist you.

I'll also leave this thread open in case one of our forum users would like to assist in converting the indicator or knows of a similar indicator that already exists for NinjaTrader.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

If you can provide resources that I can use to covert the code to Ninjascript that would be great

Hello kenyee65,

Thank you for your reply.

We do have resources to help you begin creating NinjaScript Strategies/Indicators. All links below are publicly available.

The best way to begin learning NinjaScript is to use the Strategy Builder. With the Strategy Builder you can setup conditions and variables and then see the generated code in the NinjaScript Editor by clicking the View Code button.

I'm also providing a link to a pre-recorded set of videos 'Strategy Builder 301' and 'NinjaScript Editor 401' for you to view at your own convenience.

Strategy Builder 301

NinjaScript Editor 401

If you are new to C#, to get a basic foundation for the concepts and syntax used in NinjaScript I would recommend this section of articles in our NT7 help guide first:

Basic Programming Concepts

For general C# education I have personally found Dot Net Perls to be a great reference site with easy to understand examples.

https://www.dotnetperls.com/

There are a few Sample Automated Strategies which come pre-configured in NinjaTrader that you can use as a starting point. These are found under New -> NinjaScript Editor -> Strategy. You will see locked strategies where you can see the details of the code, but you will not be able to edit (you can though always create copies you can later edit via right click > Save as)

We also have some Reference samples online as well as ‘Tips and Tricks’ for both indicators and strategies:

Click here to see our NinjaScript Reference Samples

Click here to see our NinjaScript Tips

These samples can be downloaded, installed and modified from NinjaTrader and hopefully serve as a good base for your custom works.

Further, the following link is to our help guide with an alphabetical reference list to all supported methods, properties, and objects that are used in NinjaScript.

And our Educational Resources in the NinjaTrader 8 help guide.

A set of specific tutorials for creating conditions in the NinjaTrader 8 Strategy Builder in the NinjaTrader 8 help guide.

You can also contact one of our professional NinjaScript Consultants or Educators who would be eager to create or modify this script at your request or assist you with your script. Please let me know if you would like a list of professional NinjaScript Consultants or Educators who would be happy to create or modify any script at your request or assist you in learning NinjaScript.
