programmatically control playback speed

[pjsmith]

Looking through the forums, I can see various requests for this, so I don't think it's possible, but, in the hope, someone came up with a solution (and a product suggestion).

Any way to control the speed or pause playback from NT, or on events. For example, I want to run playback until a trade occurs, then pause/stop. I can issue the stop/ pause code from ninjascript, or, for the rest of the world, having options to stop/pause playback on certain events such as an order placed would be a very nice feature.

Thanks.

Hello pjsmith,

Thank you for your post.

There's not a currently supported way to control playback speed from NinjaScript.

However, I have added a vote for you to a current feature request to expose the playback controls to NinjaScript. This request is being tracked under the number SFT-3262.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
