Summary
The Naked Markets Indicators API (Application Programming Interface) allows any user to create their own indicator.
This API has been designed to make it easy to use. It is possible to code the indicators in C# or Visual Basic languages.
Several IDE (integrated development environment) can be used in order to develop your own indicator.
However, we recommend to use the most popular ones, giving their support and their community :
- Visual Studio Community Edition : it is a free, easy to use, and well supported IDE
- Visual Studio Code : it is a free, one of the most popular IDE. It can be run under several operating systems : Windows, MacOS or Linux.
This API uses a naming convention close the Metatrader one. Indeed, the function names are very similar to simplify the conversion from MQL4 indicators to Naked Markets indicators.
