Before I used NinjaTrader, I spent quite some time on W3Schools' C# course, they did an excellent job (free of charge), not sure if that is for you, the course was designed for folks like me who knew nothing about C#.

I also watched this YouTuber a lot:

Hello slimtrading,

Thanks for your post.

warpinator and rafaelcoisa have provided some excellent information regarding your questions.

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

The best way to begin learning NinjaScript is to use the Strategy Builder. With the Strategy Builder, you can set up conditions and variables and then see the generated code in the NinjaScript Editor by clicking the View Code button.

Here is a link to our publicly available training videos, 'Automate your trading with NinjaTrader's Strategy Builder' and 'NinjaScript Editor 401', for you to view at your own convenience.

I am also linking you to the Educational Resources section of the Help Guide to help you get started with NinjaScript:

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:

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