iwannatoscript,

Here, in my opinion, is the best source of reference material to program C# with.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Find C# Keywords here.

C# Keywords

Find Operators here.

C# Operators (C#)

Find Processer Directives here.

C# Preprocessor Directives (C#)

Find Math methods here.

Math Methods

Find Objects, Classes, and Structs here.

Objects, Classes and Structs (C#)

------------------------------------------------------------------

This should keep you busy for a while.

Really Good Stuff !!!!

RJay

I wouldn't say "math" is important... but logic definitely is critical to programming. Also an eye for detail and a systematic approach. I posted a Tips and Tricks for getting started in the "Sticky" section.

I have found learning C# very difficult - its like speaking a foreign language - I understand the words but ask me to construct a whole sentence a n d I j ust run out of s t e am...

More particularly its the application to NS that I find so difficult.

I asked a consultant to write me a programme about 6 months ago and I learnt a ton from that plus lifting stuff off the forums and doing a lot of cut and paste.

Anyway I hope that I can pick up stuff and also give stuff back here.

Question - how do you set up a control to add to the toolbar in NT?

I am quite happy to add buttons, etc but I really can't get my head around the control side - not even sure its the right question to be honest (rofl).

Mindset, looks like it doesn't exist in NT6.x (see links below) however roonius (NinjaScript Certified Consultant and member of NexusFi (formerly BMT)) has developed one to turn strategies on and off... he might be able to program one for you - note Trading Studies link:
TradingStudies.com - Buttons


The following are NT Forum Posts.. I searched "tool bar"
Programing an on/off button on a chart - NinjaTrader Support Forum

custom Icon bar - NinjaTrader Support Forum


As far as your comments about C# being a difficult language. It is a sophisticated language. I put numerous links in the "Sticky" section above for you to get a grasp on the concepts and facilities and to get "into" it. If you've programmed before, I'd suggest that you try to compare C# constructs with the concepts you understand from your earlier experience to help make the transition and translation.
