nt has some excellent videos on their youtube channel. the ones i found to be the best are those related to debugging and printing (search for those terms on their channel).



and, c# courses would also be recommendable, i asked this same question on the nt fora and their staff did mention some materials.

This link to the language reference will be your primary source:
https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/?alphabetical_reference.htm

Then go slowly, explore these pages:

Open and study the Bollinger indicator which is one of the easiest indicator to understand. You'll learn how to add lines on the chart and define some parameters.

Youtube is a good place to learn how to code:
