Using underlying equity to tade options

[tradetree]

Hi,
I am a programmer and have extensive experience with EasyLanguage from TradeStation. I am looking to port strategies to NT and eventually move my entire operation over to NT, in particular NT-7. One of the harder operations to master is entering/exiting trades in strategies. For example, I want to chart a strategy and run a strategy on an equity, let's take AAPL as an example, but trade the option contracts on AAPL. There are potentially two issues with this:
1) Contract is for a different instrument than the chart (option vs. equity)
2) Calculating the expiration month, strike price etc. to auto-pick the option.

Can NT support this type of strategy? Even if only item #1 was supported, would it be possible to manually set the specific option contract to trade?

Hello Tradetree,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately this is not currently possible. NinjaTrader does not offer support for options trading in our platform. This is something on our list for future consideration.
