ChatGPT C# Code

[Seaeagle]

Hi I have asked ChatGPT to code an indicator in C# for NT8. It is nothing too fancy just subtract one closing price from the last closing price given time frames. CGpt writes the code but when I try to paste the code into NT8 were it says enter your code here I get lots of compile errors, not being a programmer these baffle me. It could be the code itself or the way I have installed it.

Any suggestions most welcome.

Thanks

Hello Seaeagle,

Thanks for your post.

From our experience at this time, ChatGpt is not quite adequate to generate valid compilable NinjaScripts that function as the user has intended. We often find that the generated code will call non-existent properties and methods, use improper classes or inheritance, and may have incorrect logic. We highly encourage that you create a new NinjaScript yourself using the NinjaScript Editor, and use the code generated by ChatGpt as more as suggestions and guide when coding the script yourself, than using the actual code generated.

While It would not be within our support model to correct these scripts at user request, we would be happy to provide insight for any direct specific inquiries you may have if you would like to create this script yourself. Our support is able to assist with finding resources in our help guide as well as simple examples, and we are happy to assist with guiding you through the debugging process to assist you with understanding unexpected behavior.

You can also contact a professional NinjaScript Consultant who would be eager to create or modify this script at your request or assist you with your script. The NinjaTrader Ecosystem has affiliate contacts who provide educational as well as consulting services. Please let me know if you would like a list of affiliate consultants who would be happy to create this script or any others at your request or provide one on one educational services.

ChatGPT code for NinjaTrader, in general, is garbage. You're better off to read the help or look at the examples - you'll end up spending far longer thinking you just have to go the last 10% of the way, not realizing taht there are false ideas baked in (like it's mixing in NT7 code, or putting extra time frames in something that doesn't need them, etc.). It's way faster to write what you want than to fix what ChatGPT gives you as a starting point.
