Looking for NT specific tutorial for using SharpDX

[Chippy]

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around using SharpDX. I've looked at several example indicators but still don't get it.

Is there a simple tutorial on how to use SharpDX particularly as it pertains to NT? Generic tutorials aren't helping. I'm not clear on what components are necessary or optional. There seem to be a half dozen different methods that you have to set/assign/create and I just can't see the birdseye view of how they all work together.

Hello Chippy,

Thanks for your post.

We do not have any tutorials or videos demonstrating using SharpDX for custom chart rendering.

We do however have a help guide page that has detailed information about working with SharpDX for custom chart rendering.

Working with SharpDX for Custom Chart Rendering: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._rendering.htm

We also have a sample script with documentation that comes default with NinjaTrader that you could view for examples of working with SharpDX. To view the script, open a New > NinjaScript Editor window, open the Indicators folder, and select the SampleCustomRender script.

Let us know if we may assist further.

Hello Mauricio,

Thanks for your notes.

Yes, NinjaScript developers do use SharpDX and OnRender() to custom render chart objects from their custom NinjaScripts.

Please see the Using SharpDX for Custom Chart Rendering help guide documentation linked below for an overview of how to use SharpDX and OnRender().

See this help guide page for more information about OnRender(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...8/onrender.htm

ChartBars could be used to get a bar index value from the primary series on a chart.
