TradeStation Strategies in Ninja Trader

[mimiruru]

I developped 5 successfull strategies in TradeStation to trade Index E-Mini Futures . Now, I would like to apply these strategies to other Index Futures (Europe, Asia, ...) and I am wondering if Ninja Trader could help.

in TradeStation : I have the EasyLanguage automated strategies and only the U.S. "Futures" data (+ DAX recently)

in InteractiveBroker : I have all the data I want and no integrated automated strategies.


Could Ninja Trader be the crossroad of TS and IB ? A place where I could make my strategies working (backtest and trading) and having all the data I want ?

If somebody well informed could help answering these questions,

In advance thank you very much,

For sure this is possible with NinjaTrader.

Thank you.

I followed the link but did not see ,in the online trading programme details, something clear about links between TS and IB.

I was probably unclear in my first post. So, here are some more details :

- the strategies (developped in TS) use ADE (All Data Everywhere). A DLL program transfering any kind of data from one graph to another. This is central. Specific calculations are made in 9 different TS graphs and sent through ADE in a TS "receiving" graph where orders are generated.


As far as I can see, there are 3 options :


Option 1 :

- Data from IB gets in TradeStation through Ninja .(is this possible ?)
- Backtests are made in TS
- Orders are generated in TS and transmitted to IB with Ninja


Option 2 :

- Data from IB gets in Ninja
- Backtests are made in Ninja (this means Ninja can handle ADE DLL program)
- Orders are generated in ninja and transmitted to IB


Option 3 :

- Data from IB gets in TradeStation through Ninja .
- TS sends ADE values in A DLL file to Ninja (if Ninja cannot read ADE DLL)
- Partial Backtests are made in Ninja
- Orders are generated in ninja and transmitted to IB


Thanks in advance to clarify the options.

We can't comment ADE, since we are not familiar with that technology. You would need to figure out by yourself.

These items likely won't (!) work:
- Data from IB gets in TradeStation through Ninja
- this means Ninja can handle ADE DLL program
- TS sends ADE values in A DLL file to Ninja

I suggest reading through the available documentation on Automated Trading-> Automated Trading Interface to understand what could work and what won't work: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...helpguide.html

Thank you.

I'll read the help guide and try to find out.

In the meantime, could you tell me if Ninja can "read" and "apply" TS EasyLanguage studies (indicators and strategies) or eventually is there a translator somewhere in Ninja ?

Thanks in advance

Sorry there is no such translator.
