Hello Dzammer,

Thank you for writing in. To clarify, are you wanting to use the data as historical data or are you trying to feed it into NinjaTrader for realtime simulation or both?

Thank you in advance.

Hello.

Both. Realtime and historical.

Hello Dzammer,

Could you please elaborate on the data that you are trying to work with?

-It is data that already exists within NinjaTrader in some form?
-Is this data you have created yourself or is it coming from an exchange that is not currently supported in NinjaTrader?
-Are you trying to replay it using the market replay connection?
-Are you trying to write a full on adapter to support a brand new data feed?

Your clarification will help me to provide you with the best answer possible.
Thank you in advance.

Hello Dzammer,

Thank you for clarifying. You can create your own import type to import your custom data from Tools -> Historical Data -> Load tab. This would allow you to access your custom data as historical data. You can see some import type examples in the (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\ImportTypes folder. This is also where you would place your custom import type. As far as accessing it in realtime, you could then connect to the Playback Connection and set it to playback historical data.

Please let me know if you require further clarification or if I may be of further assistance.

Hello, MichaelM.
Thank you. And if i want to use real-time data? Not historical.

Hello Dzammer,

While this is undocumented in NinjaTrader 8, I am currently investigating this further and I will update this thread when I have more information.

Thank you for your patience in the meantime.
