Communicate with an outside program

[xewoox]

I am writing a program that will help to control the way the strategy executed. Now what kind of programming mechanism is good to use so as not to interrupt the internal working of Ninja Trader's strategy.

I am trying to send some settings dynamically to the running strategy

xewoox,

Unfortunately this is outside the scope of what we can offer support for. If you just want values you can try reading it from a file.

Unfortunately, i need to control when the stratgey enter a trade each time.
I just hoping to know if i have a C# thread running along with Ninja Strategy. Would that cause any problem?

xewoox,

All NinjaScript methods need to be called from the main thread. Anything else may or may not work. Unfortunately I cannot provide much more support on this. Hopefully one of the more advanced members around can help you out.

I have used threads (actually a Threadpool) in an indicator, but in a strategy this should work also.

You can do everything you want, also firing events into your NT code,but remember the TriggerCustomEvent function.

I would just set some variables from outside and have the strategy logic act accordingly in OnBarUpdate()

might give some trouble with thread syncronisation, so I would implement lock from the very beginning.

It is all about good knowledge in C# and .NET
