NT as a Black Box Development System

[BooDoo]

Attached is a sample Visual Studio Solution which can be used to create custom indicators and/or strategies, compiled into dll which can be dropped into bin/Custom folder

Thanks a lot roonius! You rock!

My question is: Is there any way to update/reload my custom dll when Ninja is still running? Right now I have to close and restart Ninja every time after I change/compile my code in order to replace the dll in bin\Custom folder.

Thanks,
Boo.

I would love to find a way to do that, but unfortunately...
Maybe somebody else knows...

Excellent questions and I have to add one more:

# Does any one know if it is possible to control the backtesting using some form of API (by using an external application )?

Thanks in advance

This is my own interface, it is just a spin off of my NTMT application and the necessary libraries are included with NTMT (not free)

I have done several backtesting tests with this interface and the interesting feature is that you can call it from a simple console app, (outside of the NinjaTrader process)

bool rv=ninjaserver.Instance.StrategyAnalyzerTestDialog ("LongStrat1",StrategyAnalyzerTestType.btnRunBackTest);
// BackTestFrom
// BackTestTo
// BackTestMode
ninjaserver.Instance.SetTestParameter("Instrument","FDAX 12-09");
DateTime from = DateTime.Now.Date.AddDays(-3);
DateTime to = DateTime.Now.Date.AddDays(-2);
ninjaserver.Instance.SetTestParameter("BackTestFrom", from.ToString());
ninjaserver.Instance.SetTestParameter("BackTestTo", to.ToString());
ninjaserver.Instance.RunTest(ninjaserver.TimeOut);
object results = ninjaserver.Instance.TestResult("Performance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Currency. CumProfit");

As I see it writing a good documentation and then explaining my interface to others will be too time consuming for me, so I will not give much support here on the forum.

I hope that the idea behind is clear to you.

Andreas, your work is amazing.

I looked at your site and found that you have developed some pretty neat apps!!!
