Hello Icus1,

Thanks for your post.

There are some books on NinjaScript that can be found externally to NinjaTrader. You could also consider reading educational resources on C# since NinjaScript is built on C#.

Another option to consider would be to start with our NinjaTrader 7 tutorials and transition to NinjaTrader 8.

Some other threads where educational information on NinjaScript and on NinjaScript books can be found below. You may find some of the community feedback helpful if you wish to finds a book on NinjaScript.

Hello Icus1,

In addition to checking out some of the unaffiliated resources in the threads I linked, if you want to dive in to learning NinjaScript and indicators for NinjaTrader 8, you could start with getting familiar with NinjaScipr through the Strategy Builder and NinjaScript Editor and you may reference our AddPlot documentation for how plots are created and assigned values.

Our open source indicators can also be referenced to learn how you can create your own indicators.
