trigger MarketDataEvent

[telbentel]

I need to trigger from my code the MarketDataEvent or call the OnMarketData method. Can anyone tell me how to trigger the event or what are the meanings of the parameters in the constructor of MarketDataEventArgs?

Thanks

Hello,

The OnMarketData is triggered when data is recieved from the data feed provider. Any code placed in OnMarketData() { } will then run.

If this is not what you need can you please clarify what it is your trying to do so that I may further assist.

yes, I know, and I use it for that, but in other situations I need to do some things that I also do in OnMarketData, that´s why I was wondering if I can call this method from my own code and in one sentence differenciate if is a call because of a MarketData event or a call from my own code and that will allow me to reuse some code.

Hello,

I do not believe this is supported. However I will have my product manager review this ticket to double check this.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

You will not be able to trigger such an event. If you have parts of your code in OnMarketData() that you want to use elsewhere too instead of putting it in OnMarketData() you should put it in its own method. Then in OnMarketData() you can call that method. This will also allow you to call this method when you are not in OnMarketData() and from other locations as well.

but, for example if I call OnmarketData from one of my methods like this

and inside OnMarketData I do this:

if e.Price>=0 //do what I have to do for MarketDataEvent
else //call from my code

Will that work or I´ll have any problem?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

No, that is not supported.

[NinjaTrader_Brett]

Hello,

This may or may not work and is unfortunately not supported. You would have to test this on your end to see what is possible.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

[telbentel]

I proved it and so far it seems to work

If I have any problem I'll let you know

thanks
