Creating Custom Data Plugin.

[DeeKay602]

I want to code a data plugin.


I tried pushing data into NinjaTrader using DLL INTERFACE through my Broker Api & was successful in it


However this method is only good for real-time data
How can i Load Historical Data using dll interface or Coding a Data Plugin?


Is There any documentation related to it?

Hi DeeKay, thanks for posting.

There are no supported methods for historical data requests through the DLL interface. You would need to have a custom historical data loader in the application involved in NinjaTrader DLL interface access.

I understood. Is there any Example files or Documentation related to that?

Hi DeeKay, thanks for your reply.

Since the historical data loading would happen on your custom application we have no direct examples of how to do it. You would need to research how to load historical data from a file or Http request into a data structure of your own choosing. In a NinjaScript addon, you can make historical data requests with a BarsRequest. We have a full downloadable example of an Addon window here:

Well, i am saving the historical data in form of Arrays in text file. another probelem with using external api data connection is that it doesn't allow any other connection while connected.

btw. what declarations do i need to use to show up my custom data plugin show up in data plugins connection window?
