Custom NinjaScript Programming Without the Developer Nightmare

You have a profitable trading strategy. You've tested it manually. You know it works. But you can't spend eight hours a day sitting in front of your screen and executing every signal.

You need to automate it. But finding and hiring coders is a problem.

Freelancers charge between £3,000 and £5,000. They don't know what trading terms mean. They send code that doesn't work as promised. Changes take weeks. The final price is twice what was first quoted. And most of them will charge you more to provide you with the source code.

Most traders quit. They continued doing trades by hand. They miss chances when they aren't at their desks.

Rize Capital's custom programming service solves this problem.

Free quote within one working day. Expert programmers who understand trading and NinjaScript. All source code included. Seven days of free technical support after delivery. Payment through PayPal for security.

You can get help with everything from a simple indicator to a complicated automated strategy with extensive order management. The people you work with know your language, not freelancers who ask basic questions about stop losses.

That's the difference between months of stress and receiving exactly what you want.

The Developer Problem

Here's what typically happens when traders hire developers:

The Communication Nightmare

You explain your strategy. They don't know what trading terms mean. You say things in a different way. They still don't understand. You send screenshots. You draw diagrams. You write a lot of specifications. They make something that works technically but doesn't do what you need since they don't understand the trading rationale underlying your needs.

The Quote Creep

First quote: £2,500. £3,200 once you describe your needs more clearly. After they start coding and realise it's "more complex than expected": £4,000. £4,800 after you ask for adjustments that you thought were already there. The ultimate cost is twice the amount you thought it would be, and you feel stuck since you've already spent so much time and money.

The Timeline Disaster

They say it will take two weeks. The initial version will take four weeks to get. Then three more weeks of changes. Three months later, you notice a bug, and they say they're "too busy" to repair it right away. Or they've completely vanished. You have code that you can't change and no one to take care of it.

The Source Code Hostage Situation

Some developers won't even provide you with the source code. You pay thousands for a compiled DLL that you can't change or correct on your own. Others charge an extra 50% to include the source code. You're dependent on them forever, paying for every tiny modification.

The Quality Lottery

You won't know if the code is well-written until months later, when you try to change it or it starts to break. Bad coding can cause memory leaks, slow down execution, or cause crashes. But you've already paid, and repairing it requires paying another developer to clean up the mess.

Rize Capital's custom programming service solves all of these challenges with a clear, trader-focused development methodology.

How It Actually Works

The process is straightforward. No confusion. No surprises. No wondering what happens next.

Step 1: Request a Free Quote

You fill out a simple form describing what you need. An automated strategy, a custom indicator, an add-on tool—whatever you want built for NinjaTrader 8. You can give as much or as little information as you choose. You can start with a preliminary idea.

Step 2: Initial Reply by the Next Working Day

Not "We'll get back to you when we can." "Please wait 7–10 business days for a response." The next working day. You will get a response that either gives you your quote or asks for more information if necessary. There is no need to wait and wonder if your question has disappeared into the void.

Step 3: Free Quote with No Obligation

The quote is free. You don't have to pay for an estimate. You don't have to go forward. That's okay if the price doesn't work for you. Don't worry. No tricks to make a sell. Just a clear price for clear deliverables.

Step 4: Development by Expert Programmers

If you accept the quote, development begins. Your project is being worked on by professional NinjaScript coders, not freelancers who learnt how to code last year. These are people who are specialists in the platform. They know how to trade. They know how to use NinjaScript. They know what you're trying to do.

Step 5: Testing Before Delivery

Before you receive anything, Rize Capital tests it. They don't send you code that throws errors on startup. They don't deliver strategies that crash when market conditions change. They test the functionality. They verify it works as specified. Free testing, done by them, before you see the final product.

Step 6: Complete Delivery with Source Code

You receive the finished strategy, indicator, or add-on. And you receive the complete source code. Not compiled DLLs you can't modify. Not locked code you can't examine. The full, readable, modifiable source code. You own it. You can change it. You can understand exactly what it does and how it works.

Step 7: Seven Days of Free Technical Support

After delivery, you get seven days of free support. If something doesn't work as intended, they fix it. If you find an issue, they resolve it. No additional charges. No "that wasn't in the original scope" arguments. If it's reported within seven days and it's a legitimate issue, it's fixed for free.

Step 8: Secure Payment through PayPal

Payment is handled through PayPal—not bank transfers to unknown accounts, not cryptocurrency to avoid chargebacks, not upfront payments with no protection. PayPal provides buyer protection and a clear transaction record.

That's the entire process. Eight steps from enquiry to delivery with support. No confusion. No surprises. No wondering what you're actually getting.

What Can Be Built

Rize Capital's custom programming service covers everything the NinjaTrader 8 platform can do.

Automated Trading Strategies.

Your manual strategy becomes a fully automated system. Entry signals, exit signals, stop losses, profit targets, trailing stops, position sizing, time filters, market condition filters—everything you do manually gets translated into code that executes automatically. The strategy trades while you're sleeping, working, or doing anything other than staring at charts.

Custom Indicators

If you need an indicator that doesn't exist in NinjaTrader's library, it gets built. Moving average crossovers with custom calculations. Volume analysis tools. Support and resistance identification. Volatility measurements. Anything you can define can be programmed. The indicator displays on your charts exactly how you want it, with the colours, labels, and alerts you specify.

Add-Ons

Beyond strategies and indicators, NinjaTrader 8 supports add-ons—custom windows, panels, and tools that integrate with the platform. Want a custom control panel for managing multiple strategies across multiple instruments? A trade journal that automatically logs every execution with screenshots? A risk calculator that displays directly on your chart toolbar? These can be built as add-ons that look and feel like native NinjaTrader features.

Drawing Tools

Custom drawing tools extend NinjaTrader's built-in capabilities. Need a specialised Fibonacci tool with custom levels? A risk-reward visualisation tool that calculates position sizing automatically? Drawing objects that display real-time trade metrics? These can be programmed as native-feeling drawing tools that integrate seamlessly with your charts.

If it's possible in NinjaTrader 8, Rize Capital can programme it.

The Source Code Question

Most custom programming services treat source code as an upselling opportunity. The compiled version costs X. The source code costs X plus 50%. Or they don't provide source code at all—you're stuck with a black box you can never modify.

Rize Capital includes all source code with final delivery. Always. Not as an optional extra. Not for an additional fee. As standard practice.

Why does this matter?

• You can modify it yourself. Markets change. Strategies need tweaking. If you know even basic NinjaScript programming (or learn it through Rize Capital's training courses), you can modify your own code. Change a parameter. Add a filter. Adjust the exit logic. You don't need to hire a developer every time you want to make a small change.
• You can understand what it actually does. Source code is readable. You can see exactly what logic is being executed. You can verify that your strategy is doing what you think it's doing. You can identify where issues might be occurring. You're not blind to how your own trading tool works.
• You can hire anyone to modify it later. If you need significant modifications years later and Rize Capital is unavailable, any NinjaScript developer can work with source code. You're not locked into a single developer forever. The code is yours to use as you see fit.
• You can learn from it. Reading well-written code is one of the best ways to improve your own programming skills. Every custom programme becomes a learning resource. You see how experienced developers structure strategies, handle errors, and implement complex logic. If you're learning NinjaScript, your custom programmes become reference material.

Source code delivery should be standard, not optional. Rize Capital treats it that way.

Protection for Commercial Distribution

Maybe you're not building a tool for yourself. Maybe you're building something you plan to sell to other traders. A commercial indicator, a subscription-based strategy, a tool you want to licence to customers.

You need to protect your intellectual property. You need to prevent unauthorised copying and distribution. You need licensing controls that verify customers have permission to use your product.

Rize Capital offers NinjaTrader's third-party licensing tools integration for clients who want to distribute their custom programmes commercially. This allows you to:

• Lock your programmes to specific machines or accounts. Customers can't simply copy your DLL and share it freely. The programme checks licensing status before running and refuses to execute without valid authorisation.
• Implement subscription or perpetual licensing models. Charge monthly fees, one-time payments, tiered pricing—whatever business model suits your product. The licensing system handles verification and expiration.
• Protect your source code from end users. Customers receive compiled versions with licensing protection. They can't read your code, reverse-engineer your logic, or create competing products based on your work.
• Control updates and versions. You can push updates to licensed users and ensure everyone is running the current version. You can deprecate old versions and require upgrades.

If you're building commercial products, Rize Capital can implement professional-grade protection so you can sell with confidence.

The NDA Option

Some strategies are genuinely proprietary. You've spent years developing an edge. You don't want your logic discussed publicly or shared with other clients. You need confidentiality guarantees before you reveal the details.

Rize Capital provides NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) if needed. Not as a reluctant accommodation. As a standard option for clients who require confidentiality.

The NDA ensures your strategy details remain confidential. Your trading logic isn't discussed with others. Your requirements aren't used as examples in marketing materials. Your intellectual property is protected legally, not just by informal agreement.

If you need an NDA, you get an NDA. Simple as that.

Why This Service Exists

Rize Capital's custom programming service exists because the typical developer experience for traders is terrible.

Freelance platforms are full of programmers who claim they can "code anything" but don't understand the first thing about trading. They know C#, but they don't know why a stop loss needs to be outside the average true range. They can write loops and conditionals, but they don't understand why time-of-day filters matter for futures strategies.

The result is miscommunication, poor quality code, missed deadlines, and frustrated traders who paid thousands for something that doesn't actually solve their problem.

Rize Capital's team are professional NinjaScript programmers. They programme custom strategies and indicators every day. They understand trading terminology, market mechanics, and the practical challenges traders face when automating their strategies.

When you say "I need the strategy to flatten positions 15 minutes before the close," they know exactly what you mean and why you need it. When you say "the stop loss should be based on the swing low of the last five bars," they understand the logic immediately. You're speaking with people who understand trading, not just programming.

That makes the entire process faster, clearer, and more likely to deliver exactly what you need the first time.

The Real Value: Getting What You Actually Need

The true value of Rize Capital's custom programming service isn't just the technical capability. It's the likelihood of getting exactly what you need without frustration.

No more explaining basic trading concepts to developers who should already know them. No more revisions because they misunderstood your requirements. No more discovering months later that the code is poorly written and needs to be rebuilt.

You describe your strategy. They programme it correctly. You receive working code with source included. If there's an issue within seven days, they fix it for free. That's how it should work.

Most traders who need custom programming face a choice: spend thousands and months dealing with freelancers or give up on automation entirely. Rize Capital's service offers a third option: work with expert programmers who understand trading and deliver quality code the first time.
