Using The Strategy Builder

[blazed8]

I watched a few YouTube videos to use the strategy builder for exactly what I wanted to do.
Somehow I am missing something because it doesn't work.

I was told that Ninja does provide help.
Is that true?
Where do I go to get help?

Thanks

Hello blazed8,

Thank you for your post.

If you need assistance, you can post here on the forum or send us a message at scriptingsupport[AT]ninjatrader[DOT]com.

Below I am including info on getting started with NinjaScript.

We do have resources to help you begin creating NinjaScript Strategies/Indicators. All links below are publicly available.

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 examples created by the support team
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.

Also, below I am also linking you to the Educational Resources section of the Help Guide to help you get started with NinjaScript.
