Our traders are using Ninja Trader to backtest over 10,000 contracts for over 100 futures products from around the world with much success, but they get tired of having to manually add new contracts to Ninja Trader via the Instrument Manager by hand whenever new contracts for a product begin trading.
They want me to make it possible to auto-import all the contract meta-data into Ninja Trader with the click of a button from an external Windows Form application.
I have already accomplished this in RightEdge. All I had to do was get all the contract meta-data from our SQL Server 2005 database and write it to the XML file that RightEdge uses when it displays the contract tree view like NinjaTrader displays on the left hand side of the Strategy Analyzer.
The traders would love to be able to do auto-import contract meta-data from our SQL Server 2005 database in the next version of NinjaTrader.
Thanks a lot for considering my request!
