Programming skills needed to create, modify, or improve NinjaTrader 7 indicators?
What programming skills are needed to create, modify, or improve Ninja Trader 7 indicators?
I have some experience in C and C++. Or in what direction do I go to get started?
thanks H. Hampton.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I learned by jumping in. Think of a simple indicator you want to create, and go for it. There are tons of indicators posted where you can find reference code for almost anything. If you get stuck, post a new thread in the nt programming sub forum. The only programming experience I had was a introductory c++ class from school 8 years ago.
For most stuff it's NinjaScript and C# basics (really basic basics that is), for things in this category copy/paste is the most important skill. From there it's really just an open C# door. So you could basically do a lot with C# and even C++...
Then download Ninjatrader indicators and strategies, copy and paste and make sure that you understand what you are copying....
I really have to give credit to NinjaTrader that all their indicators are open source and that the product is relatively well documented and supported.
