Welcome to the forums!

You may be uninformed -- Python is not supported by NinjaTrader.

NinjaTrader is a Windows application based upon the .NET Framework.

The primary language in .NET is C#, but VB.Net and F# are also available.

Within NinjaTrader, users can write plugins using the NinjaScript
framework, but the only supported language for NinjaScript is C#.

My point is:
Python is not a language supported by the .NET Framework.

bltdavid has it correct - Python can only be interfaced in a roundabout way but you can't just "code in python an indicator" to display in NinjaTrader without a lot of heroics - I can assure you the interfacing between the two worlds will be possible but will be many times more complex than the indicator itself would be to just write it in C#. You would be walking the long way around the barn for sure.

Hello StankE,

Thanks for your post.

bltdavid and QuantKey_Bruce are correct.

Python is not supported for developing NinjaScript indicators and strategies.

NinjaTrader utilizes the C# programming language for developing indicators and strategies.

If you are new to C#, to get a basic foundation for the concepts and syntax used in NinjaScript I would recommend this section of articles in our help guide first:
https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...g_concepts.htm

I am also linking you to the Educational Resources section of the Help Guide to help you get started with NinjaScript:
https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._resources.htm

And the MSDN (Microsft Developers Network) C# Language Reference.

Please let me know if I may assist further.
