Leanring to create a new strategy from nothing

[PipTrendz]

I am completely new to using NinjaTrader for a strategy but have some simple(ish) ideas I want to set a strategy for. I have not got much/any programming experience but can normally understand things to a point.

So my main question is, what is the best way to learn to create a strategy?

I have been jumping from post to post on here but not really getting anywhere.

My strategy will consist of the following;
1. Entry based on open of a new candle, comparing the sizes (body) of the previous 3 candles and enter if conditions met.
2. Standard entry with SL and TP points
3. Trailing the SL, moving on each candle in profit

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
