1. What is the equivalent of PointValue in tradestation eg Emin s&p = 12.5.
2. Is there a dictionary of names/functions anywhere?

It took me 10 minutes to find the equivalent of AbsValue (Math. Abs if you're interested).

I appreciate these are newbie questions but not everyone who uses NT is a programmer -hell, my school didn't even have a computer( :-o ) and it would make the learning a lot faster.

Still I got my first indicator to work today - 6 hours to plot a volume differential.

Hello,

1- PointValue in EL is equates to a full point value of the instrument you are using. In NinjaScript TickSize * 4 is equivelant to one PointValue for the ES. However if the number of ticks in a single point is different the multiplier will need to change since TickSize is defined as a tick within the instrument.

2- These are the best references for NinjaScript:
