Connecting with Tradestation

[Jamaica]

Hello,

I've read and watched this guide that you provide for running EL strategies in TS:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/support_TradeStation.htm

And I have to say that it does not make much sense to execute trades on data that comes from TS. It's just backwards!

It would make a lot more sense if the data from NT was delivered into TS, analyzed, and acted upon by the EL strategy.

Why would you want to trade on third party data?

Anyway, if you have a solution for getting NT data into TS I would be very interested, along with many others I'm sure...

HI Jamaica,

You can connect TradeStation to NinjaTrader to achieve the following:

• Execute TradeStation strategy generated trade signals as live orders through NinjaTrader
  supported brokerage partners
  

• A real-time data feed to drive NinjaTrader as a trade simulator

However, unfortunately NinjaTrader does not support live trade execution through TradeStation brokerage.

I guess what I meant is:

It would be great if you also posted instructions on how to connect Tradestation to Zen-Fire through OwnData.

Hi Jamaica,

Unfortunately, I cannot offer support for that.

Why, is that a big secret?

Users will figure it out regardless.
