Manual / Guide How to encoding in Ninja Script

[gustavobp]

Hello,
Please I need to download an official programming manual in NINJA SCRIPT and Strategy Builder. I suppose there will be 2 different manuals or guides since the first is manual coding and the second is a block editor. I need a manual, if possible in PDF, for complete reading and to learn how to code with Ninja Script and all its commands. Thank you so much

Hello gustavobp,

We do have resources to help you begin creating NinjaScript Strategies/Indicators.

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 'Automate Your Trading with NinjaTrader's Strategy Builder' and 'NinjaScript Editor 401' for you to view at your own convenience.

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 support articles 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/

We also have great resources in relation to Strategy Development on our Support Forum. There is a very active developer community in our support forum that supplements the responses provided by NinjaTrader support staff providing all users with an exceptional support experience.
Take me to your support forum!

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.
