Thanks and Regards

Hello nbgandhi,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forums!

While an External Data Feed is not something that is supported depending on how it was written you will most likely want to add it as a reference.

External Data Feed

Hi

I want to access the documentation on how to create my own External data feed application.

If I manage to get a sample source code with some example, it would be excellent time saver

@nbgandhi

In most cases, you have to copy/overwrite file in NinjaTrader bin folder. Do take backup of file you intend to overwrite

Oh, Do you mean "Documentation does not yet exist?"

Hello cdjindia,

There is some documentation about this that can be found at the following link to our Help Guide.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/functions.htm

But there are no sample codes that can be downloaded. You may have to use the "int Ask(string instrument, double price, int size)", "int Bid(string instrument, double price, int size)", and "int Last(string instrument, double price, int size)"

@cdjindia, there is a code sample for NinjaTrader7 External Data Feed using NTDirect.dll explained on youtube youtu.be/9Q7XpCOARLo
The sample program itself is in author's dropbox
Or the whole thing put together very neatly:http://trade29.com/using-ntdirect-dl...ninjatrader-7/
