Hello bdelorm,

Thanks for your post.

If you are using a "Free" edition licence key, one of the limitations is that you cannot access Ninjascript, the selections will be grayed out.

You would need to replace your free edition live trading license with the sim-only license key in order to access Ninjascript and then restart. You can then edit and test as needed. Once completed, in order to live trade you would need to reinstall your live license key and restart. Here is the sim key: @SIM-A82F-D583-40B1-AE74-B79F-705D-1952

Ninjscript is the programming language of NinjaTrader. Ninjascript is based on C# Programming language and we recommend a good working knowledge of C#. We do not provide C# education/tutorials as these can be found on the internet in many places.

If you are not familiar with C# and do not wish to learn to program, you can still create strategies (automated trading) without programming knowledge by using the Strategy Builder. The strategy Builder allows you to create basic to medium complexity strategies. The Strategy Builder will also convert your conditions and actions into viable C# code so that you get the same speed and performance as a Ninjascript created strategy. You can also view this code that is created and that can be very useful in learning Ninjascript as well. You can copy and paste code from the builder into another script.

Here are the educational resource available on the strategy builder:
Free live webinar every other Thursday at 4:00 PM EST, through this link to all webinars: https://ninjatrader.com/PlatformTraining

To create an indicator or a non strategy builder strategy, you would need to use the indicator or strategy wizard. These will create the basic structures including the inputs and outputs. Here are is where you can find out further about the wizards: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...?ns_wizard.htm

Once you have created a Ninjascript strategy or indicator you would need to use the Ninjascript editor for further coding and debugging, here is a link to the overall Ninjascript editor: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/?editor.htm

Here is a link to live webinars where you can find the Ninjascript editor and strategy builder, alternating on Thursdays: https://ninjatrader.com/PlatformTraining

Hey Paul thanks for the response i have the code already so all i have to do copy and paste it... If I have the code already is it easy to copy and paste it?

Hello bdelorm,

Thanks for your reply.

If you have a complete .cs file then the answer would be "likely".

If not in .cs file then it would greatly depend on your understanding of C# and Ninjascript.

Can I send you what the code looks like privately?
