NinjaScript Help Wanted: I am new to NinjaTrader, not a programmer

[Tren D]

I have written a little ThinkScript & EasyLanguage, but not C# or similar. Please help me with my first indicator, something simple ...

Primarily, an average of a calculation for the past number of specified bars.
A lower-plot to display a single line.

ThinkScript: average(((high-low) / ((open+close) / 2)),barLength)*100;

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {						 			
			double calc = ( ( (High[0]-Low[0])/(Open[0]+Close[0]) ) /2 )*100;
			
			Line1.Set(calc);
        }

See attached an initial preliminary file.

How is the input user-specified number of bars handled? Average?

If you can write all for me -- Great! And/or, I appreciate any help and/or direction that you can provide.

I have been reading many NinjaTrader items. Please suggest any related references?

Thanks!

Thank you for your post and welcome to our forums!

The user-specified number of bars is handled from the number of "Days to Load" on your chart.
