Hi Jens, accessing the chart's bar data via DLL would unfortunately not be supported.

Pure Bid, Ask, Last data could be accessed though via the AT Interface DLL functions -

Ok, I see.

Thank you for the quick reply. Let me say something to the developers: May be, that the datastream from the providers contain only the stuff providet in the NTdirect.dll. But there is something you should know: The old dino Tradestation provide full access for marketdata like Open, Close and so on directly in a dll since Version 8!
I mean, you say, that NinjaTrader is the best Platform for developing own studies and strategies. But if I want to sell my ideas, I better not use C#, because there is NO WAY to make this code secure. So a developer have to use an external dll - and Ninja doesn't provid a simple Interface for that.
Telling the truth, I often hear the word unfortunatly - for the 'best' Trading platform....

NT-Developers, you got the golden lemon....

Hello Jens, thanks for the feedback provided - we would offer a very handy licensing scheme and CLISecure protection to 3rd party developers - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...l_security.htm

You could also call an external DLL with your propriatary calcs in our NinjaScript, when creating this for example in Visual Studio just make sure the target framework is set to .NET 3.5, then NT7 can load and work with this DLL for providing another custom layer of security for your works.
