About NinjaScript Source Code by Color

[NinjaTrader_BrandonH]

Hello ラリー,

Thanks for your note.

If you are looking at the DMI indicator's code, DMI is the name of the indicator that comes default with NinjaTrader. DmMinus is a custom variable that was created in the DMI indicator script.

There is documentation in the help guide on accessing the DMI indicator since it is an indicator that comes default with NinjaTrader. Since DmMinus is a custom variable used for calculations in the DMI indicator's code, it is not specifically documented.

Let me know if I may assist further.

Yes, I am looking at DM Iindicator.

I understand that the white color is all text (including High, Low, etc.) and that there is a difference between documented and undocumented.
Is it correct that all white is text (including High, Low, etc.)?

Hello ラリー,

Thanks for your note.

Yes, that is correct. Text in the NinjaScript Editor will be white in color, including High[0], Low[0]. Close[0], etc.

Let me know if I may assist further.

Thank you for your reply.

I am aware that all text (white) is a variable, but even if it is the same white color, is there a case where it is not a variable but a function or reserved word?

Hello,

Not all white text is a variable.

If you want to know how the NinjaScript Editor colorizes items, you can see the Documents\NinjaTrader8\templates\skins\YourSkin\Bl uePrint.xaml file and look at the colors associated with the NinjaScript Editor:

 <!-- NinjaScript Editor -->

<!-- Conditional text colors for the NinjaScript Editor -->
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorBackground" Color="#101010" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorCommentForeground" Color="#7B7466" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorCompilerErrorForeground" Color="DarkRed" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorIdentifierForeground" Color="#F0F0F0" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorIndentationLineForeground" Color="#363636" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorKeywordForeground" Color="LightBlue" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorLineNumbersBackground" Color="Black" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorLineNumbersForeground" Color="#E9E9E9" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorNumberForeground" Color="#22CDFF" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorStringForeground" Color="#0076EC" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorSyntaxErrorForeground" Color="Red" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorPlainTextForeground" Color="#F3F2F1" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorErrorGridBackgroundSelecte dTab" Color="Sienna" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorErrorGridBackgroundOtherTa b" Color="OrangeRed" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorCaretBrush" Color="White" />
<SolidColorBrush po:Freeze="true" x:Key="NinjaScriptEditorCollapsibleRegionBackgroun d" Color="#232323" />

If you are looking for additional information to understand the C# code and what each piece of code represents in C#, we would recommend utilizing publicly available C# resources so you can recognize these items when reading the code.

Thank you for your reply.

Not all white text is a variable.

Is there any way to tell if it is a variable or not within the ninja script editor?

[NinjaTrader_BrandonH]

Hello ラリー,

Thanks for your note.

Recognizing variables is a C# concept and in the Support department at NinjaTrader, it is against our policy to provide C# education.

You could use external sources for learning how to recognize variables in C#. Below is a publicly available website where you could find C# educational materials.
