BackgroundWorker

[blar58]

Can I use the C# BackgroundWorker when I need to make a call to a web service like Yahoo ?

Thanks

Hello blar58,

Thank you for your post.

There would not be a supported means to do this within in NinjaTrader.

Thanks Patrick

Just for my understanding, is it because NinjaTrader does not use multiple threads ?


Thanks

Hello blar58,

Thank you for your response.

That may be part of the case for NinjaTrader 7, but I am referring to the ability to use the backgroundworker to call a web service in NinjaScript. There may be unsupported means to achieve this, but I am not aware of such items.

You can use BackgroundWorker Class with NT7 NinjaScript.

NT7 is a multi-threaded program however, the UI, which is where your NinjaScripts(Indicators and Strategies) are calculated and ran from, is on 1 thread, making it more or less a single threaded application for our given context.

If you want to perform some operations on a background thread you can do that with your script. There's even a sample that someone did on the Miscellaneous forum page for uploaded scripts.
