Building custom C# libraries

[pbailey19]

General question about C# programming with NinjaScript. Do I only have two choices of different "classes" to create, with the NinjaScript editor?

What I'd like to do is build a small personal library, with a couple of helper utility classes. So I'd create a few of my custom indicators - say, CustomTEMA or CustomMultiStochastic - and then create a helper class, that could hold simple building-block methods like "areAllIndicatorsOversold()" or "isPriceCloseTo50DaySMA()". Then, I could build Strategies with higher-level function calls .... calls that I could re-use, with multiple Strategies.

Does NinjaScript support something like this?

Hello pbailey19,

Thank you for your post.

Sledge's response here is correct, you can create User Defined Methods that can be accessed by all custom indicators and strategies. User defined methods should ONLY be created if you intend to re-use these methods over and over again across different custom indicators or strategies. The link Sledge provides also has two samples that you can use to get an idea of how to use these. You can also find the two samples below:

Please let me know if you have any questions.
