C++ is very similar to the C# syntax, you wont be able to access the Ninjatrader base code and dll's but the math and logic should be very easy for you to pick up.

I don't disagree, but the way I look at it, if he uses C++ daily, picking out a indicator's formula should be quite easy in C#.
Maybe i'm missing the boat.

No you're dead on, I'd count myself smarter than I am if I could use C++ safely, but I'm not and I wouldn't want to try, I just wish Stoustrup hadn't been either. I think we used to say 'blow your foot off with C, but whole leg off with C++' or something like that. Cheers.
whole leg off with C++, I may have to quote your saying someday with that.. Very Funny,

I find it quite easy to blow my whole head off just with C.
I'm with you about Stroustrup.
I recall a statement way back in K&R to the effect that C is based on the idea of "trust the programmer." I thought to myself, "Huh??? That means me. Who are they kidding???"
(Inside jokes, normal people can just ignore, and no doubt will.)
I believe that is the entire point of this journal.. "How I build a trading system" Patience young grasshopper.
