Do I need any software for the entire process; writing, compiling, etc?

Hello Karado,

Thank you for your response.

Programming Indicators and Strategies in NinjaTrader is done through NinjaScript and through the NinjaTrader Platform itself.

We have a fully documented help guide which will help you get started with Ninja Script. You will find language references to all of the methods and functions you will be using. You will also see a tutorial section which will help you create your first indicator and get you started with some of these concepts.

A link to our Help Guide can be found below: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...stribution.htm

I am also linking you to the Educational Resources section of the Help Guide to help you get started with NinjaScript: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h..._resources.htm

We also have great resources in relation to Indicator Development on our Support Forum. There is a very active developer community in our support forum that supplements the responses provided by NinjaTrader support staff providing all users with an exceptional support experience.
Take me to your support forum!

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