Help appreciated by a newbie

[acmeinvest]

I have a simple script I would like to import into Ninja 6.5 that would paint the bars different colors based on whether price were completely above, completely below or intersecting a moving average line. Here is my best attempt at the code:

if (High[0] < SMA(25)[0]) Bar Color = Color.Red;
if (Low[0] > SMA(25)[0]) Bar Color = Color.Green;
if (High[0] >= SMA(25)[0] && Low[0] <= SMA(25)[0]) Bar Color = Color.Black;


I would appreciate it if someone could check over the code and tell me what to do next so I can import this into Ninja, or provide me with an import file. Thanks so much.

Sorry, I don't follow. Please create a new indicator in Tools->New NinjaScript->Indicator, edit this indicator, compile it and you are ready to go. No need to import anything.

The help guide holds tutorials on how to create indicators from scratch.

Cannot find New NinjaScript

Please forgive my ignorance, but there are only 4 items under Control Center Tools. They are Instrument Manager, Historical Data, Account Connections, and Options. I cannot find New Ninja Script there or anywhere else.

You likely are on a free NinjaTrader Direct license which does not support NinjaScript. If you want to trade and use/edit NinjaScript you would to purchase a regular license.

Problems still

Thank you for pointing this out. I upgraded and was able to find the new NinjaScript item. I followed the wizard directions and inserted the code I posted earlier. I got this from reading some of the documentation examples. I get 3 compile errors, one for each line saying that a ";" is expected. Could you please look at the code and tell me what to do now. I never had problems like this with EasyLanguage or with writing QuoteTracker paintbars. My logic is simple and straight forward. I want to paint the bars one of 3 different colours based on the relationship of the closing price to a moving average. Thank you.

If you are referring to the code in your original post, that looks fine. Using NinjaScript assumes some level of C# programming understanding. The error that you come across falls into this category.
