I'm an experienced software developer (and less experienced trader) and want to use Ninjascript to write software to track a couple of hundred stocks during the trading day, reporting stats on them via a .net program that I write.
I downloaded it, got it hooked up to quotes (TDAmeritrade) but I'm having a conceptual problem.
It looks like its geared around having a chart and a specific symbol, I see how you create a chart, assign it to a symbol and then write strategies that attach to that chart.
however, I want to write code that just calls the equivalent of GetQuote(symbol) once every few seconds for a bunch of stocks and accrue stats.
I don't actually want to live trade, just get quotes.
What is the mechanism for this? Can I attach to ninjatrader as a DLL? Are there examples?
thanks in advance,
john
