TOS Indicator to Ninjascript

[ankbhard]

Hello,

I have a thinkscript for a reversal indicator that I created for my Thinkorswim platform (image below) and I was wondering if it is possible at all to covert that into Ninjascript....?

It uses moving averages, ZigZag pattern, and Fibonacci to generate reversal signals on your chart.

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes it's possible

Hello ankbhard,

Thanks for your post.

As member sledge advised it would be possible.

If you would like this created for you, we can provide references to 3rd party programmers who could provide that service.

If you would like to convert this yourself and have a good understanding of thinkscript, we can get you started with educational links to Ninjascript which is based on C# .Net and uses that syntax.

Thank you Sledge and Paul.

Paul,

I can try coding myself if you could be so kind to provide me with the educational links....

Hello ankbhard,

Thanks for your reply.

NinjaScripts are built on C#. While we do not provide programming education services in the Support Department, there are a vast number of educational C# resources external to NinjaTrader and we do have some tutorials and tools that can assist in the learning process.

Many users report that a good way to start before fully learning C# is to go through the NinjaTrader 7 NinjaScript tutorials in the help documentation to get a fundamental grasp on .NET framework and how it is used in NinjaScript. From there I suggest looking at the Code Breaking changes for NinjaTrader 8 to understand the differences between NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8. You can view the tutorials for NinjaTrader 7 here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...?tutorials.htm

Although we do not currently provide NinjaScript tutorials like in NinjaTrader 7, we do provide in-depth help documentation on developing NinjaScripts for NinjaTrader 8. We also provide samples and a complete reference of the language. More in depth educational resources can be found elsewhere throughout the internet.

You can find the educational resources here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG..._resources.htm

Once you have a basic understanding of C#, I suggest following the documented Code Breaking changes between NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8. This page also gives an overview for NinjaScripts in NinjaTrader 8. You can find the Code Breaking changes here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ng_changes.htm

Other users have wrote in about this information in our support forums here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...d.php?p=488807

Also available are webinars on the NinjaScript editor and the Strategy Builder. The Strategy Builder can be used to generate NinjaScript syntax for NinjaScript strategies. You may wish to create a strategy and clicking View Code after each piece of logic created in the Builder to observe the generated syntax.

Thank you Sledge and Paul.

Paul,

I can try coding myself if you could be so kind to provide me with the educational links....

If you visit http://futures.io and visit the Ninjatrader forums there, there are threads where people will be kind enough to help you and possibly convert the code for you if its not too difficult..

If you want to code the indicator yourself, then you will need to know c# and reference the ninjatrader class library documentation that Paul posted.
