Tradimo – Programmieren mit NinjaTrader

Tradimo – Programmieren mit NinjaTrader is a video-based training that teaches you how to program with NinjaTrader 7 to build your own indicators and automated trading strategies. If you want to move beyond “black-box” tools and actually understand what your platform is doing, this course gives you a structured path from basics to real implementation.

You will learn how NinjaTrader’s development environment works, how trading events are handled, and how to turn trading logic into reusable code. The focus is practical: you study, you build, you test, and you refine—step by step.

This is educational content. Trading involves risk, and coding a strategy does not remove uncertainty. The value is in developing a clearer workflow, better tools, and more disciplined execution.

What is the Tradimo – Programmieren mit NinjaTrader course about?

Tradimo – Programmieren mit NinjaTrader is about learning to create custom tools inside NinjaTrader 7 by working with C# and the NinjaTrader programming framework (often known as NinjaScript). Instead of relying only on prebuilt indicators and templates, you learn how to design your own logic and build it into indicators and strategies you can reuse.

The training starts with programming foundations and object-oriented concepts, so you can understand how code is organized and why it behaves the way it does. From there, it moves into NinjaTrader-specific development: the IDE, the development process, and the key objects and parameters that matter when you build trading logic.

As you progress, the course also covers more advanced areas such as multi-timeframe approaches, partial fill handling, and backtesting practices—so you can build code that is not only functional, but also more robust for real trading workflows.

What will you learn?

• How to work with NinjaTrader 7 as a development and trading environment.
• Core programming fundamentals and the tools you need to understand code logic.
• Object-oriented concepts (classes, methods, data types, inheritance) and how they apply to C# projects.
• How the NinjaTrader IDE is used to build and maintain indicators and strategies.
• How NinjaTrader event handling works and how trade-related objects (such as order objects) fit into execution logic.
• How to build and modify indicators, including examples you can use as a reference.
• How to program trading strategies and translate trading rules into clear, testable logic.
• How to design a reusable strategy template so your work scales across future projects.
• Advanced development topics such as unmanaged approaches, multi-timeframe concepts, partial-fill handling, and correct backtesting habits.

Who is it for?

Tradimo – Programmieren mit NinjaTrader is designed for learners who want to understand and build with NinjaTrader, not just click through tools. It can be a strong fit for:

• Traders who want to learn programming and stop depending on “mystery” indicators.
• Traders who want to create their own indicators and automated strategies.
• People who want a clear introduction to object-oriented thinking in a trading context.
• Programmers who want to understand how NinjaTrader interfaces and APIs work in practice.
• Anyone who wants structured guidance for building real NinjaTrader projects with C#.

This course is not intended for traders who only want to use NinjaTrader’s Strategy Wizard as a drag-and-drop “builder.” It is also not designed to teach C# and .NET to the deepest possible level. The goal is practical competence: enough to build, test, and iterate trading tools inside NinjaTrader.

How does it work?

Tradimo – Programmieren mit NinjaTrader is delivered as a structured video training with over 8 hours of instruction. The course is organized into a clear sequence, starting with programming basics and moving toward NinjaTrader-specific development, indicator building, and strategy programming.

A practical way to get results from this training is to learn like a developer, not a viewer:

• Watch one lesson and write down the core concept in your own words.
• Build immediately by recreating the example in your own NinjaTrader environment.
• Modify the code with small changes so you truly understand cause and effect.
• Test carefully using structured backtesting habits, then document what you learned.

This approach helps you build real skill. You are not memorizing. You are developing a workflow you can repeat on your next indicator, your next strategy, and your next improvement cycle.

Benefits

• More control: you can build tools that match your trading logic instead of adapting to generic indicators.
• More clarity: you understand how execution logic works, which reduces “guessing” in strategy behavior.
• More speed: reusable templates and clean structure help you develop faster over time.
• Better discipline: a structured development process supports cleaner testing and fewer emotional decisions.
• Better long-term learning: once you understand the framework, you can keep building and upgrading your own library.

Prerequisites

No advanced programming background is required, because the course includes an introduction to programming and object-oriented foundations. However, you will benefit from having access to NinjaTrader 7 and the willingness to practice hands-on. Expect the biggest progress when you actually write code, test it, and review your results.

About the author

The training is presented by Dipl.-Inf. Holger Breuer (HBreuer-Trading), who focuses on trading-related programming education and NinjaTrader development. The course is structured to help traders and developers understand both the programming foundations and the practical NinjaTrader workflow for indicators and strategy automation.
