Ninjatrader trade API

[birdog]

Hi folks,

How may I call the NT API from the platform to pull trading data as it happens and use it for misc purposes?

Hello Birdog,

Thank you for your post.

What kind of trade data are you looking for from this API?

Is this the connection API that you are referring to?

Hi Cal,

I would like to collect all the trading data as it is being executed. The trade info (instrument, price, profit, loss, realized, unrealized, etc etc etc . . .).

Birdog,

You won't be able to this directly from the API, but you can pull this info for a running strategy for the Realized PnL and trade data that you may need.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
