Hello svadukia,

Thanks for opening the thread.

As NinjaScripts are built on top of C#, nearly anything that can be programmed in C# can be implemented in a NinjaScript. We have some examples on our forums that demonstrate how you can incorporate various techniques into your strategies and indicators.

For example, there are sample that demonstrate how you can use a StreamReader and a StreamWriter to read and write to a file from a NinjaScript. This sample can be used to help create a script that reads and writes to a CSV (comma separated values) file. This file format can then be imported into Excel and this file format can also be exported from Excel.

Our Reference Samples can be found here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...splay.php?f=30

To be able to stream data to and from an Excel spreadsheet, it may be possible to do this through the DDE interface. We do not have an example that demonstrates this however, and we would not be able to provide further direction to develop a NinjaScript that utilizes this. You may find useful resources online that show how a C# application can use the DDE interface.

I have found one resource here that may be useful: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/cob...ce-automation/

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
