Hi all,

I was working for a long time on TradingView but prefer the features NinjaTrader is giving. Now Im trying to start to add a simple EMA spread script as an indicator but lost already

What Im trying to do is to get a similar script as I use in Tradingview like this.

 
Code
sell_value = input(2)
buy_value = input(-2)
ema1_speed_fast = input(50)
ema1_speed_slow = input(50)

ema2_speed_fast = input(13)
ema2_speed_slow = input(34)


fastema1=ema(close,ema1_speed_fast)
slowema1=ema(close,ema1_speed_slow)
e=(fastema1/slowema1-1)*100

fastema2=ema(close,ema2_speed_fast)
slowema2=ema(close,ema2_speed_slow)
f=(fastema2/slowema2-1)*100

//plot(0, color=#404040, title="Zero value")
plot(buy_value, color=green, linewidth=2, title="Buy value")
plot(sell_value, color=red, linewidth=2, title="Sell value")
plot(e, color=red, linewidth=2, title="EMA spread 1")
plot(f, color=blue, linewidth=2, title="EMA spread 2")
I tried the code editor but the only result I get every time is errors so I have to remove the script again and get frustrated... After a day of work I hope someone can help me a bit in the good direction how to start with this simple code, maybe have a good similar example?

Best regards,

it will help if you include a picture of what it looks like. dif between MAs is how MACD calculated so you can open NT MACD script, make a copy then modify it any way you want.
