NinjaScript Editor 401 update with intellisense demo for all ninjascript methods

[PaulMohn]

Hello,

NinjaTrader_ChelseaB do you have an update to this demo?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7aDpWoWUQs

If not, when's the next one scheduled?
Could you prepare a demo of the ninjascript editor intellisense?

Mainly how to quickly and efficiently build all the main ninjascript methods
for indicators, strategies and from the addon framework.

Hello PaulMohn,

Thanks for your post.

There is no update for the publicly available training video 'NinjaScript Editor 401'. This is the most up to date training video available for using the NinjaScript Editor window.

We do not have an ETA for when/if a new NinjaScript Editor 401 training video will be released at this time.

To use intellisense in the NinjaScript Editor window you could start by typing the name of an object or method and type "." to see options available for that object or method. For example: you could type "Time[0]." and then see the options available for Time[0].

Here is a brief demonstration video of using intellisense to see what options are available for Time[0]: https://brandonh-ninjatrader.tinytak...OF8yMzE0NzU5NA

All the supported methods and properties would be found on the NinjaTrader Help Guide linked here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...erence_wip.htm

NinjaTrader_ChelseaB hello,

Did you cover in a previous 401 or weekly recording the way to use intellisense when calling another indicator inside a different indicator script?
How do you limit the methods/objects called to the actual ones from the referenced indicator?

I tested with the period "." but it returns a large list of foreign methods as well.

What is the way to restrict the intellisense to the relevant methods/objects only?

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello PaulMohn,

If you are in the parenthesis of a method press Ctrl + Shift + Space bar to show the method signature.

If you are looking for properties available to an object, putting a period after the variable name would bring up properties for that specific object.
A period with no variable name would imply 'this' as the object which would be the indicator class.

[PaulMohn]

How about with this

//class level Indicator variable
private NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.MyTestIndicator MyTestIndicator1;

// in OnBarUpdate
if (Close[0] > MyTestIndicator1. XXX)

How to return only the relevant methods/objects with this in XXX (not the whole lot) ?
MyTestIndicator1.

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello PaulMohn,

MyTestIndicator1 is going to be inheriting from Indicator and will have all the properties and methods from the Indicator class.

MyTestIndicator1.XXX would list all properties and methods from the Indicator class.

I'm not sure if you are meaning you want just the public variables you've declared in your script and not all properties available to the class but there would not be a list for that I am aware of.
