Programming a custom indicator in NinjaTrader?

    Hello all,

    I'm interested in programming a custom indicator for NinjaTrader as I'm sure this is something that's not available out of the box, at least as I'm aware of.

    In short, what I want is an application that plots projected ranges for the entire trading day at 1 hour intervals after the first 30 minutes of trading (but also including the first 30 minutes).

    These would be horizontal lines, one for the top of the range and one for the bottom of the range, for each time period.

    The projections are based on my own data, available currently in Excel. This is paired data, with time and price values being the components.

    I'd imagine the indicator or script would then have to import this data from Excel (although it could be made available elsewhere) and project it somehow on my NT charts.

    Any ideas on how I should proceed to implement this? I'm not in a major rush, so I've considered if it's something I could even do myself. At least considering that I may get some assistance from friends who are familiar with programming.

    Thanks in advance! :)
