whishlist, commandline

[zweistein]

Hello,

I would apreciate an option to chose the workspace to open from the command line. Example:

NinjaTrader.exe /workspace: Untitled2

any plans to to so or are there technical reasons not to?


True SingleInstance without annoying MessageBox

When launching a second instance of NinjaTrader (which usually happens by error) could you just exit the second instance without the Message Box (No second instance... NinjaTrader /2) and maybe just activate the controlcenter of the first instance?
For this SingleInstance type of application there are many good examples on the web on how to do this (usually with a global mutex) and it should be easy to implement.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Zweistein,

This might help. Not 100%, but pretty close.

What might work is if you used your utility library to auto load your management strategy, and then have the workspace auto load from there using the link I am referencing.

Gets you to the place you need to go without waiting for NT to add commandline features or not.

Mulitple Instances Issue

Zweistein,

Another idea might be to write a wrapper of somekind and make a shortcut to that for NT. This way it could do the logic checking you want and avoid that message box.

Just an idea. So you make an application called MyNT or whatever, and it simply loads NT.exe or whatever, but will only do so if it isn't already loaded. If it is loaded, it will just bring you there. If it is not responding, then it will hammer it and try to start it again.

Also, could you copy your workspace to the default workspace before starting NT? That would be another advantage. You could copy the name of the file you want in your own commandline string, and replace Default.xml or whatever. This would give you the same effect, no?
