In this book, we'll be walking hands-on-tutorial-style through the creation of an automated stock trading strategy using C# and the NinjaTrader platform, as well as methods for testing out its potential success. By the end of this book, you should be able to not only create a simple trading strategy, but also understand how to test it against historical market data, debug it, and even log data into a custom database for further analysis. Even if you have limited C# and trading strategy experience, the examples in this book will provide a great foundation for getting into automated trading and safely testing out strategy ideas before risking real money in the market.
