Pushing Data to NT

[davewolfs]

Hello all,

I'm hoping that one of you has an example of pushing some data to NT. The data I need to push is nothing but a simple object can be a string or integer, but I need NT to be able to receive this data and put it on a stack so that it can be accessed later on a FIFO basis.

Do any of you have any examples of an indicator doing this?

The application pushing data to NT would reside on the same machine, so IPC is an option. I appreciate any input, it would be ideal to just be able to send generic data using NT's DLL interface but I don't believe that is possible unless there is some sort of un-documented method.

I appreciate your input.

Hello,

As you probably know, this is beyond our level of support. Lets see if another trader/programmer can help you.

As an exercise I have managed to get Ninja to output text on a chart which is entered into a Windows Form This was done in the following manner.

A Windows form was constructed using Visual Studio and placed in the Ninja7/bin/Custom directory. A reference was added to the dll and a using statement added to a strategy.

The data was picked up by the following line in on bar update

FormTest = inputOutputForm.Controls["textBox5"].Text;

FormTest being a string declared in variables and ["textBox5"] being the relevant textBox on the Windows form.

The text is output on a Ninja Chart using the following line in onbar update

DrawText("test", FormTest, 20, Close[0], Color.Black);

I am sure there are much better ways of doing this etc, but maybe this will give you some ideas.
