Follow-up question about data

Hi,

I'm curious, is there any API via which one can get the RT data NinjaTrader is receiving from the source to which it is connected? A related question -- do custom indicators recieve data per-tick for computation, or only information once a bar is complete (e.g. a 1-min. bar). Thanks,

Gordon

There is no API however, in NT 6.5 due to be release shortly, indicators have a method (OnMarketData()) which is called on any change in level 1 market data.

Indicators -

- Call a method OnBarUpdate() which is called either on every tick or on the close of the bar depending on what the property CalculateOnBarClose is set to
- Call a method OnMarketData() which is called on every change in level 1 market data

Hi Ray,

Thank you -- that's great to know. Can a NinjaScript indicator itself use/call a COM component registered on the system? I would think so since it's C#.

Quick add'l question -- I believe the basic RT e-mini quotes one charts are level 1. Is that correct?

Regards,

Gordon

I can answer it this way...

NinjaScript is C# which means you have full access to the language and full .NET library. You can litterally do anything you wish however...we only provide support for coding to the NinjaScript layer. What you want to do is outside what we can provide support for.

Yes, chart data is level 1 market data.

I should have added...

Someone else (RedDuke) I believe, had coded up integration from OnMarketDepth() to MS Excel. Search the forum...
