Hello everyone,

I came across the Ninja Trader platform a short while ago and have been busily backtesting strategies in it but have no idea how to program in C# to create a custom indicator. Their forum wasn't too helpful so thought the smart guys here maybe able to help

I want to create a custom indicator using Bollinger's %b formula to normalise an indicator like RSI for example.

The normalised formula is:

(indicator - indicator lower band) / (indicator upper band - indircator lower band)

%b formula is:

(last - lower band) / upper band - lower band)

If someone can help with the programming in Ninja trader ver 6.0, that would be awesome!

cheers,
Leonie

i use Ninja-- sorry I am not a programmer, but initally there is no reason to purchase the software. Just send them an email telling them you wish to use the free version. It is basically the same. From what I was told, the difference between the free and pay version was that you can send bracket orders with the pay version but not with the free. They will send you a license key to get started. You will need to provide your own market data to get realtime info, or you can sign up for one of the free demos with any of their partners off their website.
 
Thank you for your help - Indeed.

Is there any simple way to provide my own market data...to get realtime? How can I do it?

You need a data feed from somewhere like Esignal , DTN IQ or quote tracker or you can sign up for a free demo with one of their partners where you will get free live data for a time, but not historical. I use esignal and it runs about $150/month
 
Thanks a lot!

How long have you been traded?
How long it takes to trade as a pro?

Just for clarification, the only difference between the free and paid versions is that you can execute live, real money, trades with the paid version and can not with the free version. The free version is used only for charting or for demo trading. When demo trading using the free version, you can send every type of order that is available on the paid version.

You can get an unlimited demo version using the Zenfire data feed from Mirus Futures simply by requesting a demo version from them. I have only seen the demo feed prices vary from my live feed price once and that was when there was a CME data feed problem that affected all data feeds.

Actually, you can execute live trades using the free version-- but they don't like to tell you that. No bracket orders.

Somewhat correct. We have an NT Direct Edition which is only available through Zen-Fire supporting brokers. This is a free version for live trading that is crippled in that you can't use ATM (bracket strategies) nor the Automated Trading Interface.

The NinjaTrader FREE version which can be downloaded from our site is fully functional excluding live trade execution.

Thanks for the clarification. I do use the free version of NT with the zen fire feed from my broker, but plan on getting the lifetime license when my fully automated strategies go live. NT is WELL worth the money-- best combo of speed, reliability and user-friendliness out there.
 
I am an experienced strategy programmer both in C#(ninja) an wealthlab(pascal) and I am lookin to consult/outsource/help in writing and designing custom automated strategies. Confidentiality is guaranteed!
 
I want to start learning either C++ or C#. This would be for my personal use for programs like Ninja but I want it also to help me progress in my work life. Currently only working in fund administration and I hope with a basic programming knowledge along side the CFA I am studying that I would be able to achieve this.
What do people recommend, C++ or C#? I seem to find more jobs that quote C++ but I believe C# is a more up to date language.
Are there any good courses in the City?
Many thanks.
 
I would like a VolumeSpreadAnalysisVSA, Wycoff) type indcator done. for Ninja Trader

UPthrust=Bar w/high>= prior 2 bars with close in bottom 1/3 and volume >=prior bar... would be nice to be able to adjust the 1/3 and the =vol to vol %... mark with a red down arrow

DNthrust=Bar w/Low<= prior 2 bars with close in top 1/3 and volume >=prior bar... would be nice to be able to adjust the 1/3 and the =vol to vol %... mark with a green up arrow

The Ninja wizard doesnt have means to do this I dont think, and I am not a programmer

Thanks, BillyBob
