Importing economic indicators into NinjaTrader

[Farmer George]

Is it possible to import 'foreign', that is not the standard OHLC etc, external data/indicators, for example economic sentiment or interest rates, into NinjaTrader? Thanks.

Hello Farmer George,

Thank you for your note.

You can import other indicators that would give you these values but the data itself is not importable into NinjaTrader.

Please see the link below for importing NinjaScript items into NinjaTrader -

Thanks. But where would the indicators values be held - they need to be listed somewhere?

George,

Typically custom scripts will display these values when applied to a chart. If you find one that you want to import I would recommend asking the developer about the nature of the script so that you would get a full understanding of how it works on the chart.

Ok, will do. If anyone has an example would appreciate if it could be shared? Thanks.

There is cot stuff that has been developed that might give you some ideas.

Thanks for that, appreciated, shows that it can be done. Will try and track down some script enabling the import of home-spun indicators.
