Hello 010jay010,

Thank you for your post.

Would you be able to provide an example of what you currently have that isn't working? What have you tried already?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

I tried building a strategy and want to tell it to trade based on trend lines.

Hello 010jay010,

Thank you for your note.

Just to be clear, in platform support, we do not create/write strategies, we do not provide debugging services. While we want to help, our support services will also not be able to provide corrections to your code, or will be able to debug the code for you. We also cannot provide programming education services. In order for us to assist, we will need to know your exact issue, with a complete and simplified example. If you would like the strategy created for you, we can provide references to 3rd party programmers who could meet your needs.

If you like I would be glad to review any Strategy Builder conditions you have created or code you have written and provide direction to help you achieve your goal.

If you are wanting to learn NinjaScript and code this yourself, I would be happy to provide resources.

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

I'm also providing a link to a pre-recorded set of videos 'Strategy Builder 301' and 'NinjaScript Editor 401' for you to view at your own convenience.

Strategy Builder 301

NinjaScript Editor 401

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 NT7 help guide first:

Basic Programming Concepts

For general C# education I have personally found Dot Net Perls to be a great reference site with easy to understand examples.

https://www.dotnetperls.com/

There are a few Sample Automated Strategies which come pre-configured in NinjaTrader that you can use as a starting point. These are found under New -> NinjaScript Editor -> Strategy. You will see locked strategies where you can see the details of the code, but you will not be able to edit (you can though always create copies you can later edit via right click > Save as)

We also have some Reference samples online as well as ‘Tips and Tricks’ for both indicators and strategies:

Click here to see our NinjaScript Reference Samples
Click here to see our NinjaScript Tips

These samples can be downloaded, installed and modified from NinjaTrader and hopefully serve as a good base for your custom works.

Further, the following link is to our help guide with an alphabetical reference list to all supported methods, properties, and objects that are used in NinjaScript.

Alphabetical Reference

And our Educational Resources in the NinjaTrader 8 help guide.

Educational Resources

A set of specific tutorials for creating conditions in the NinjaTrader 8 Strategy Builder in the NinjaTrader 8 help guide - this is very useful to set up conditions comparing the current price to specific values, like trend line values.

Condition Builder

As I mentioned previously you can also contact one of our professional NinjaScript Consultants or Educators who would be eager to create or modify this script at your request or assist you with your script. Please let me know if you would like a list of professional NinjaScript Consultants or Educators who would be happy to create or modify any script at your request or assist you in learning NinjaScript.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
