creating a GUI within a ninjatrader 8 chart

02-23-2018, 03:54 AM

I am trying to see how I can create a panel that sits to the right of a chart in NT8 that holds buttons and text boxes into which I can type parameters.

It looks like the way in which I do this has changed drastically in ninjatrader 8 v ninjatrader 7, am I right?

Can anyone point me at a resource that would get me started on the road? It looks like it is a coding effort versus a form builder unless I am mistaken.

Thanks
Scalp
