unit01 Modification of a simple Indicator.

The intent of Lesson 1 is all about environment. While we will add our first parameter to the user input dialog box for the SMA indicator, will be also mostly getting comfortable editing, renaming, compiling, and viewing results in the output window. The added variable will be added to the Variables Region. Most importantly we will get our first taste how to debug an indicator by using the standard Print statement and the output window. No need of a C# debugger. In addition, we will timestamp each printed row to the output window allowing you so see the contents of variables the indicator during execution. Lastly, we will add text to the top of the chart. As an overview, this foundation lesson not only explains how to compile an indicator, the types of files you can receive an indicator in and how to import or which directories to place the NinjaTrader Script files to. We go to great lengths to explain the various parts of the indicator so nothing remains unclear.

Lesson 1 is available in video flash video format. The instructional video has the instructor going through in miniut detail all aspects required to complete the above tasks. This lesson includes with a base script to start from when you try the exercise yourself. The completed solution script is also provided. This lesson only adds about 15 lines of code but is over an hour in length. It is in the same format as the free Overview Video available for viewing on the home page.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
