Indicator Declaration

Concept	Pine Script	NinjaScript	Tradovate
Declaration	indicator()	class : Indicator	class { init(), map() }
Overlay	overlay=true	IsOverlay = true	areaChoice: OVERLAY
Separate pane	overlay=false	IsOverlay = false	areaChoice: NEW

Data Access

Data	Pine Script	NinjaScript	Tradovate
Close	close	Close[0]	d.close()
Open	open	Open[0]	d.open()
High	high	High[0]	d.high()
Low	low	Low[0]	d.low()
Volume	volume	Volume[0]	d.volume()
Previous bar	close[1]	Close[1]	history.prior().close()

Built-in Functions

Function	Pine Script	NinjaScript	Tradovate
SMA	ta.sma(src, len)	SMA(src, len)[0]	SMA(len)(value)
EMA	ta.ema(src, len)	EMA(src, len)[0]	EMA(len)(value)
Highest	ta.highest(src, len)	MAX(src, len)[0]	MovingHigh(len)(value)
Lowest	ta.lowest(src, len)	MIN(src, len)[0]	MovingLow(len)(value)
ATR	ta.atr(len)	ATR(len)[0]	Custom calculation
Stdev	ta.stdev(src, len)	StdDev(src, len)[0]	Custom calculation

Session Detection

Platform	New Session Detection
Pine	ta.change(time("D")) != 0
NinjaScript	Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession
Tradovate	d.tradeDate() !== this.lastDate

Parameters/Inputs

Platform	Syntax
Pine	input.int(14, "Period")
NinjaScript	[NinjaScriptProperty] public int Period { get; set; }
Tradovate	params: { period: predef.paramSpecs.period(14) }

Plots

Platform	Syntax
Pine	plot(value, "Name", color=color.blue)
NinjaScript	AddPlot(Brushes.Blue, "Name") then Values[0][0] = value
Tradovate	plots: { value: { title: "Name" } } then return { value }

Features That Don't Translate Cleanly

Pine-only features:

• request.security() for multi-timeframe
• alertcondition()
• plotshape(), plotchar()
• label.new(), line.new() dynamic drawing

NinjaScript-only features:

• Draw.Rectangle(), Draw.Line() dynamic drawing
• Multi-instrument support
• Strategy integration

Tradovate-only features:

• Limited to single timeframe
• No dynamic drawing objects
• Simpler calculation model

Translation Workflow

1. Analyze Source

   • Read and understand the indicator logic
   • Identify inputs, calculations, plots
   • Note any platform-specific features

2. Map Concepts

   • Translate data access patterns
   • Convert built-in function calls
   • Map parameter definitions

3. Generate Target

   • Create equivalent structure for target platform
   • Add comments for manual review points
   • Flag features that need manual adjustment

4. Flag Incompatibilities

   • Mark features that don't translate
   • Suggest workarounds where possible
   • Document what was changed

Output Format

When converting, always:

• Add header comment noting source and conversion
• Comment any sections needing manual review
• Preserve original logic intent
• Follow target platform conventions
