I've attached an indicator written by Gordon Brest that epitomizes the best coding style (IMHO): very well organized; easy to see where specific code purpose lies... a great model to avoid "spaghetti code"... enjoy!

I like the use of indents, but I typically like more spaces between For loops, if statements, etc.

Hi all,

I am a Java programmer. I am new to autotrades. What language is this in? Do only certain platforms run custom code?

Thanks,

Andrew

NinjaTrader is in C#. Its very similar, sort of like if C++ and Java had a baby. There is still garbage collection, etc.

Ah gotcha! Do certain platforms run custom auto trading code? Looks like the attached was for Ninja Trader?

Thanks,

Andrew

I know NinjaTrader uses C#, but I am not sure about other platforms. I used to code Metatrader 4 and it was basically C (not C++). Tradestation, I believe, uses a scripting language called "EasyLanguage". Metatrader 5 I think uses C++, or some object oriented language which is very similar. Multicharts uses "Easy Language", which I am totally unfamiliar whether or not its a derivative of the Tradestation language. You can probably just do a quick Google search and check out some examples of other platforms. I apologize I am not more help, I have used primarily NinjaTrader and Metatrader 4.
