I'm proud of this course and I'm confident it can help you, just like it has for hundreds of other students.

But don't take my word for it:

Excellent explanation of details but not belabored. You've saved me days of research. Thanks for the superb presentation.
- Rod in Denver

Great pacing and attention to detail. Everything is explained very clearly, without any fluff, in a methodical and logical progression. Each module builds cleanly on the previous ones and the included course notes are perfect for reviewing key concepts quickly and easily. It was especially thoughtful to include a review of simple concepts like where to find things in Visual Studio, how to set up git, etc. It's even better that you can skip those sections if you don't need them :-P Great work on this course!
- Asif in Calgary

Provided a nice overview of hard-to-research topics that are needed when using VS and NT8 together.
- Rob in Florida

Gave me access to more tools in Visual Studio than I knew existed.
- Ray, Iowa

Some of the things I liked most about this course (a lot to like!) are: Your attention to detail in explaining things, for example actually showing the xml structure of config files to explain how the parts are working together. As someone who loves to understand things well, I really appreciate you showing us under the hood a bit to make it seem much simpler and easier to understand. I really appreciated the lecture on organizing code and the ramifications of each approach in depth, where the pitfalls might be etc. I have been developing for years and have almost never used source control and it's one of those things I've known I should do for a long time but seemed a bit daunting, so I really loved the sections on that and actually helped it seem much less daunting. It helped give me a great introduction into it and into Azure DevOps so I'm excited to go on Microsoft's site and learn more about it. I really appreciated the live demos showing things and your attention to detail in explaining.

Thorough and professionally done. Useful examples with attention paid to the nuances of using VS with NinjaTrader.
- Mark in Richmond, VA

Clear explanation of complicated topics
- Sergei in Abhazia

Complete coverage of the subject. Clear Structure. Clear explanation on the concepts. Good pace.
- Peter in NYC

I particularly like the clear structure in each chapter and especially the information, condensed to the essentials. Great work!
- Andreas in Mannheim, Germany

Well paced with clear explanations.
- John, UK

Well thought through and carefully designed curriculum. A sound systematic approach; specifically targeted at developing NT8 coding skills for technically oriented traders. Clearly delivered and articulated lessons. To me this course was a massive timesaver and worth every penny. I would definitely consider additional courses. The cost of this course is simply insignificant compared to the amount of time Steve saves. I have gone through this a number of times and because it is structured so well, it is always easy to find the relevant material I am looking for.
- Lex, Melbourne

Well structured, well presented, thorough, and to the point.
- Tim in England

The content was presented very clearly.
- Bob from Massachusetts

The educator is very methodical and knowledgeable. The content is very useful to me starting to work with Visual Studio and NinjaTrader.
- Stuart, UK

The examples were easy to follow for someone with little C# knowledge.
- Ronald S in Florida

Short modules were focused and on topic. Easy to follow and replay as needed.
- David in Philly

Thorough and to the point. No fluff.
- Joe in Virginia

The explanation is very clear. Starts from the basics.
- Pablo, México

I created this course because it's what I wish I'd had when I started working with NinjaTrader.

I've been using Visual Studio for nearly 20 years. I wanted the power and familiarity of Visual Studio when coding in NinjaTrader.

Of course, I also wanted things like debugging, source control and the ability to use my existing code libraries in NinjaTrader. All things that Visual Studio makes possible.

Yes! Like chocolate and peanut butter, it's two great software programs that work great together: NinjaTrader and Visual Studio!

It took me hundreds of hours to learn, test and organize everything in this course.

I provide more than just a list of steps for how to do things.

I also confront the many different obstacles and decisions that can be stumbling blocks or which create undesirable consequences down the road. Things like

• how do I organize my code?
• which files and folders cannot be moved or renamed?
• how should different types of users organize their code differently?
• what do we really mean by the terms NinjaScript and AddOn?
• what's the easiest way to create and use a custom indicator?
• how do I create an AddOn project and use it in NinjaTrader?
• how do I use my own C# classes in a NinjaScript object?
• how can two different programs play nice and work on the same files at the same time?

While this course provides an important foundation for anyone wanting to program or customize NinjaTrader, it is not a C# or NinjaScript tutorial.

We do work with several simple C#/NinjaScript samples, but we do not go into detail on how to write code.

If you are serious about programming NinjaScript, you'll benefit from this course regardless of your proficiency with C# and NinjaScript.

• If you are already pretty good at programming NinjaTrader, this course will take you to the next level.
• If you have no experience with C# and NinjaScript, this course will give you a solid foundation to build on as you continue to learn more.

I don't assume any prior knowledge on your part. In fact, I spend more than one lecture just discussing what a NinjaScript is.

Please review the course curriculum below for more info about what I cover in the course.

I spent about five months, full-time, learning, validating and testing all of the information I've packed into this course.

That's at least 600 hours. That doesn't even count putting the course together.

But let's be conservative and say only 300 hours.

If my time was only worth $20/hour, then that amounts to six thousand dollars.

However, my consulting fees are a lot more than that, so in my case, I spent much more than $6000 to learn what I've put into this course.

What's your time worth?

If you spend just 15 to 30 minutes a day over a six week period, you can complete this course.

In less than 20 hours of time, you can learn what could otherwise take at least ten to fifteen times that!

Plus, you'll be an expert in the many ways you can use Visual Studio to program, customize and extend the NinjaTrader platform!

There's nothing quite like that feeling of mastery, knowing that you can quickly implement new tools, tests and strategies to verify your latest idea.
