Hello ilikerolls,

Thanks for your notes.

This is unsupported and would be up to your own discretion. We would not be able to assist with any errors or unexpected behaviors that may occur.

Ultimately, it goes outside the scope of support we would be able to provide you with in the Support department at NinjaTrader.

The forum thread will be open for other community members to share their insights on the topic.

Hello techsigma,

providing a publicly available link to the help guide that lists the functions available to the API.

Help Guide NT8 API functions:
https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nctions

I was able to decompile Ninjatrader.Client.dll. Am I able to add functions/commands to the .dll? For instance it'd be nice to be able to check to see if I have enough "Excess Initial Margin" before opening up a new position on another symbol or accessing the "Days until Rollover" values. Or being able to rollover the contract. I'm guessing the answer is no, since there'd likely need to be modifications needed on the Ninjatrader desktop app itself to accept the new commands? Or is there a better way to do this? Like creating my own .dll addon that creates it's own socket for my external app to communicate with NT? I would think something like this might already exist? Eventually I guess my best bet is to convert my strategy to C# NT addon, but unfortunately I spent a lot of time creating my strategy on TV in pinescript.

Hello techsigma,

Thanks for your note.

Information about the NinjaTrader 8 API could be found on the forum thread linked below.

Support for the API is limited from NinjaTrader Support. We are not able to assist with any code in an application external to NinjaTrader. We are able to detail the usage of any methods available from the API.

Below I am providing a publicly available link to the help guide that lists the functions available to the API.

Hello,

I am trying to find the API for version 8, but the page is no longer available. Where can I find this?

Thanks.

Hello zhiga,

Thank you for your reply.

Ah, the pictures of the script are helpful as I understand what you're trying to do now.

The ones you mention are not working have different symbol mapping for IQ feed than the actual symbol name. For GC, try QGC (no @ sign). For 6E, try @EU. Finally, for 6B, try @BP.

You can check the symbol mapping for any given instrument under Tools > Instruments. Use the search box at the top to find the instrument you wish, then double click on it in the list to open the instrument information. If you scroll down you'll find the symbol mapping for IQ feed listed.

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

Hello zhiga,

Thank you for your reply.

Can you confirm if you have checked with IQ feed that you are enabled for the GC instrument?

I'm not sure what you mean by "Also there is such strange detail, for Ticker @6B, the code doesn't work, but it's for @M6B." Could you provide a screenshot that illustrates? 6B would be British pound futures, and M6B would be micro British pound futures.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hello Kate,

I have Subscription for real-time qoutes for CME, COMEX, NYMEX form IQ feed. And I have GC on Chart in NT ant it works fine. Do you mean that? Or there is some "mysterious" toggle switch to the instrument.)
Please see attach.
I check a few Symbols:
are working :@MGC, @MES, @ES, @NQ, @MNQ, @YM, @M6E, @M6B, @RTY .
not working: @GC, @6E, @6B

So I can't figure out the ticker spelling error?

Thank you.

Hello zhiga,

Thank you for your note.

It looks like at the time you posted this post, the market was closed and we would not expect to see data coming in. If you try loading a chart today, are you able to do so?

Have you confirmed with IQFeed that you are enabled for those two instruments?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hello Kate,

I did it when market was opened. In case Data feed is IQfeed, for ES it works with Ticker @ES, but for Gold I have no solution. Also there is such strange detail, for Ticker @6B, the code doesn't work, but it's for @M6B.

Hello sabankaradeniz and johnsonmark506,

Thank you for your replies.

I have added a vote for you to a current feature request to add a Metastock Xenith adapter. This request is being tracked under the number SFT-4951.

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.

Release Notes — https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ease_notes.htm

I would note here that this is a very old thread and further replies may not be noticed with our ticketing system - if any other users would also like to submit votes for SFT-4951, please start a new thread to do so.

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

[sabankaradeniz]

Thanks for useful posts. Unfortunately, it does not work for me because I do not have coding knowledge. By the way, the Metastock Xenith adapter for Ninjatrader 8 would be great. I don't know a better way to stream live data from unsupported exchanges live to Ninjatrader 8.

Hello staycool3_a,

Our development got back to me and let me know that the Oanda order routing and data delivery is done by the Continuum service who directly interface with the Oanda API.

Unfortunately, our development is not able to provide any details with the Oanda API.
