Function reference for creating custom connections in Ninjascript

[Conall]

So I understand the bitmex addon for ninjatrader does not support trading and is datafeed only.

I'm keen to translate their API calls (which do support tx) into something workable in ninjascript if possible, is there any reference info/implementation on setting up a custom connection for order generation, or perhaps a file I can look at for already configured connections within the ninjascript editor?

I'm guessing I need to handle:

Authentication

passing orders

getting fill notifications.


The addon I'm referring too is here:

https://github.com/BitMEX/ninjatrader-bitmex

Is there any technical limitations preventing me from coding a ninjascript addon to support transactions?

with thanks.

Hello Conall,

There is a 3rd party addon for bitmex created for NinjaTrader 8.

Below is a link to a forum post with the details.
https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...t%C3%A9gration

Once connected, the data comes in like any other instrument and NinjaScripts can be used the same.

Anything further directly with the Bitmex API other than connecting and using the data for supported NinjaScripts would be outside of what is supported by NinjaTrader Support. However, this thread will remain open for any community members that would like to assist.

Hi Chelsea, this is the addon I was talking about.

My Query is less about the actual addon and more about ninjascript.

Is there a ninjascript reference for writing my own addons to handle connections? I want to write a solution for that which is missing using a combination of Ninjascript and C#

Hello Conall,

There are no reference samples on connecting to 3rd party APIs. This would be general C# and would be outside of what is supported by NinjaTrader Support.

However, this thread will remain open for any community members that would like to assist.
