Programmatic (Hacky?) way of creating instrument lists

[ChainsawDR]

Hi,

Please could you let me know if there are any methods of creating an instrument list programmatically (aka not doing it within the UI)? For example, is there a NT8 program file that can be updated? I tried looking through Documents\NinjaTrader 8 but didn't notice anything obvious.

For context, I have a Python script that runs each day and outputs a list of stocks that I then copy-paste into an instrument list. I'm wondering if I can skip a manual step by having the python script update a NT8 file instead.

Many thanks in advance

Hello ChainsawDR,

Thanks for your post.

There are no supported or documented ways for adding instruments to an instrument list programmatically. We are currently tracking interest for this feature in an internal feature request ticket and I have added your vote.

This request is being tracked under the number SFT-2941.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
