How To Video Tutorial NinjaTrader 8, Visual Studio, GIT

I'm trying to gauge if there is an interest in using NinjaTrader 8 and Visual Studio for building trading tools. I started in this forum almost 8 years ago and lurk often but don't post much. I have learned a ton from here and want to give back.

I've made a video how to tutorial on getting set up with NT8 and VS2019. I would like to create additional tutorials on how to create indicators and strategies. I think most on this forum use MetaTrader but would like to provide an alternative to those maybe wanting to go with something a little more robust and feature rich.

For anyone interested, here is the YouTube video on getting a visual studio solution set up.

I have and will always make all code publicly available for free. There is already a GitLab repository with all the code pushed for anyone to browse and download. Code repository link is here: https://gitlab.com/jasonnatordaytrader/jdt.nt8


HOW TO video is located here:

If I could help even a handful of people learn how to build their own trading tools instead of spending money on overpriced, closed source commercial tools, I would call this a success.

Jason,

great video, thank you for sharing. This is exactly what I've been looking for. A friend and I have been developing a trading tool on NT8 and came to the point when we want to have it on Git (hub, lab, or bucket) but having hard time to make VS and NT work together. VS has Git extension, so if I manage to do editing and compilation in VS pushing the code to the cloud should be easy.

Do you have any written step-by-step on that besides the video?

Thanks again

Awesome! thank you. This is going to save a lot of time. I"m about to start transitioning the dozen or so indicators I've programmed in mt4 to NT8.
