Does anyone here want NT7 to support CityIndex CFD trading and Spread Betting?

[vlc]

I don't see any way to create a Poll in this forum so a regular thread will have to do.

CityIndex ( I'm not affilitated with them although I do have a small trading account there ), seem to have well behaved pricing ( at least for the S & P 500 futures and spot ) and their spread is very consistent. I have a live Kinetick feed going alongside, driving my NT charts, to which I've added one pip to either side of my price indicator to account for the CityIndex spread.
Have not seen any significant slippage for bets under 25GBP per point.

However, I really dislike their trading platform, especially for the time horizon I use ( 5min charts).

They have published a C# API library (among others) at https://github.com/cityindex/CIAPI.CS
API docs at https://ciapipreprod.cityindextest9....ntent.overview
and a developer support group at http://faq.labs.cityindex.com/
so it looks like it should be possible to create a connector / bridge to place bets to their server from NT.

Having looked at the API documents, I can't imagine it would take more that about ten to fifteen days for a single skilled C# developer familiar with NT, to create a basic working bridge.

I would be very interested to know ( and to show both CityIndex and NinjaTrader ) how many of us would be very interested in such a connector.

Please indicate with a simple Yes or No.

Another Option for us valued(?) NT customers in the UK.

NT... how about working to connect to the Kyte Group CQG based API?

http://www.kytegroup.com/execution

I've had a conversation with them and got the strong impression they'd love to work with you.
What are the chances of that happening any time soon?

[NinjaTrader_Brett]

They would need to contact us at support at ninjatrader dot com ATTN: Business Management to inquire on this.

I'm quite sure they did that last week.

Good luck trying to get CQG API, unless you want to trade through AMP futures
