Bitcoin

[bingersb]

Are you planning on offering support for bitcoin on mtgox or other exchanges?

Thanks much

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Welcome to our forums and thanks for the post here bingersb - access to those exchanges is currently not possible unfortunately, but I have added your request to our enhancement list in product management for future consideration.

Thanks,

[bingersb]

Ok, not possible meaning its technically not possible?
Or not possible meaning you just dont have the work done to make it happen now?

Thanks

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

There's no supported connection option right now that would support accessing those exchanges / products unfortunately.

[bingersb]

Ok, please reply to this thread if that ever changes.

Thank you

You need to get on this

With the currency collapse of Argentina and the bank seizures in Cyprus-- you guys better get on the stick and allow us to chart in Bitcoins.

Api

Basically, it will take someone who knows how to work with the real-time data from one of the major BTC exchanges... who also knows how to work within the confines of NT's "External Data Feed" function.

Someone who can do that.... they are going to make a lot of money, because the charting packages out there that support live connection to BTC exchanges are JUNK.

There is an answer

Thanks Fury661.
Data feed from MTgox is already available - see here:

May I suggest that you are RIGHT and that there is a lot of money to be made by someone building a utility that snags the Mtgox datafeed like the guy did in the website above and ports it into the NT External Data Feed function.

May I suggest hiring some programmers from elance.com?

MtGox API bitcoin

Bump. As a long time user of NT I hearby add my name to the list of those who would use this feature exclusively if available.

This guy is working on a platform to access the order flow.

I dreamed a dream

From the content of this thread, it looks as if the External Data Feed function idea would NOT work for connecting MtGox's API to NT:

Too bad.... NT is a stellar platform.

Wish the guys at NT would connect us up. Fortunately, I am a price formation / volumne trader; even the crappy charts currently available are enough to get a good read on what the market is doing.

This guys has a tool to link the mtgox API to NT. He lets you see the demo via an isolated RDP remote desktop demo.

I am considering buying the tool

Please post your experience below about this datafeed tool for $110 :-/ tool. There is only a screen shot on the website and nothing clickable or any explanation.. almost looks like a scam

So, if you get the datafeed, can you submit an order?

[WLolli3342]

Actually it works pretty good. The instructions on how to set it up are not too great, but the good news is that you can login to a remote desktop and see how he connects to Mtgox. There is the ZIP file itself that you install like any other NT script-- and then there is the procedure to setup the Mtgox access in the NT Instrument Manager, which is not documented, but you can see how he did it by logging in to the RDP session.

In the RDP session, shutting down NT also resets the remote session environment, so that is pretty cool for demos.
The speed at which the Mtgox downloads trade-orderflow data is slow, but that is not the fault of the tool. I am glad I bought it. Using it and then trading thru a Mtgox account, and watching order flow thru this website:

http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/

all adds up to a good way to analyze the data and plan trades.

It's NOT like trading futures, but what the hey-- its Bitcoins !!
