Newbie Ninja Scripter

[MrBrunotte]

Hey there,
My name is Stefan and I am currently writing my trading plan in Ninja Script. Are there any other newbies here that would like to talk and maybe exchange ideas and tips :-)

I found a really great book called "NinjaScript Programmer's Launch Pad V8" by Scott Dagget. You can find it a Smashworld.com
It is a great first book to get into and understand Ninja script

Hope to hear from you :-)

Hello Stefan,

Thanks for your post.

NinjaTrader utilizes the C# programming language for developing indicators and strategies.

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

Here is a link to our publicly available training videos, 'Strategy Builder 301' and 'NinjaScript Editor 401', for you to view at your own convenience.

NinjaScript Editor 401 - https://youtu.be/H7aDpWoWUQs?list=PL...We0Nf&index=14

I am also linking you to the Educational Resources section of the Help Guide to help you get started with NinjaScript:
https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._resources.htm

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 help guide first:
https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...g_concepts.htm

And the MSDN (Microsft Developers Network) C# Language Reference.

Please let us know if we may further assist.

Hey Brandon,
Thanks for the links, I will check them out!
I am currently working on an indicator so I have started my journey :-)
I just posted another post about Inside bars. I'm looking for some advice on how to make a method that ignores inside bars. Are there any prebuilt methods that I could use in Ninja Script like a BarRange or HighLowPreviousBar for example?

Thanks for responding to this post!

Regards

Stefan
