What are everyone's thoughts on using Ninjatrader for algotrading?

[miyabhai101]

See title. Looking to move elsewhere after Quantopian stopped offering live trading. Looks like I can even just build my strategy in charts and take it live in Ninjatrader?

Or even build the startegy and get the c# code directly from the strategy I built in Ninjatrader. Only I'd need to learn c#! 9apps appcartoon hd apk

Hello miyabhai101,

Thank you for your post.

You wouldn't build a strategy in a chart directly. You could use the built in Strategy Builder or program a strategy directly using the NinjaScript editor.

There are also third party NinjaScript vendors that offer prebuilt strategies and some will even assist you in building your own strategy or program it for you. Just to be clear, in platform support, we do not create/write strategies, we do not provide debugging services. We also cannot provide programming education services. If you would like a strategy created for you, we can provide references to 3rd party programmers who could meet your needs.

Should you be interested in learning NinjaScript and creating your own strategies, we do have resources to help you begin creating NinjaScript Strategies/Indicators. All links below are publicly available.

The best way to begin learning NinjaScript is to use the Strategy Builder. With the Strategy Builder you can setup conditions and variables and then see the generated code in the NinjaScript Editor by clicking the View Code button.

I'm also providing a link to a pre-recorded set of videos 'Strategy Builder 301' and 'NinjaScript Editor 401' for you to view at your own convenience.

If you are new to C#, to get a basic foundation for the concepts and syntax used in NinjaScript I would recommend this section of articles in our NT7 help guide first:

Basic Programming Concepts

This forum is a great resource should you run into issues with your scripts. Not only can our staff directly respond, but our users can offer insight as well. I definitely recommend searching the forums first for any questions you run into as you create scripts.

There are a few Sample Automated Strategies which come pre-configured in NinjaTrader that you can use as a starting point. These are found under New -> NinjaScript Editor -> Strategy. You will see locked strategies where you can see the details of the code, but you will not be able to edit (you can though always create copies you can later edit via right click > Save as).

We also have some Reference samples online as well as ‘Tips and Tricks’ for both indicators and strategies:

Click here to see our NinjaScript Reference Samples
Click here to see our NinjaScript Tips

These samples can be downloaded, installed and modified from NinjaTrader and hopefully serve as a good base for your custom works.

Further, the following link is to our help guide with an alphabetical reference list to all supported methods, properties, and objects that are used in NinjaScript.

Alphabetical Reference

And our Educational Resources in the NinjaTrader 8 help guide.

Educational Resources

A set of specific tutorials for creating conditions in the NinjaTrader 8 Strategy Builder in the NinjaTrader 8 help guide.

Condition Builder

As I mentioned previously , you can also contact one of our professional NinjaScript Consultants or Educators who would be eager to create or modify this script at your request or assist you with your script. Please let me know if you would like a list of professional NinjaScript Consultants or Educators who would be happy to create or modify any script at your request or assist you in learning NinjaScript.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Good information, thanks.

Update:
I placed ready for used code on this automated trading framework and the results are great.

I'd go with NT for bar based trading at slower periodicities. Plus: Ninjatrader has got a huge community of users and customer service agents who can help you out.

NT is appropriate for bar based trading at daily or slower periodicities. It's not appropriate for any strategy that requires TAQ data. vidmate app download insta save
