Can I use an indicator in ThinkorSwim to trigger an overnight trade in NinjaTrader 8?

[David Zahaluk]

Hi All,
I bought an indicator (didn't develop it myself) that I'm using in Think or Swim. The developer didn't develop it for NT8 and isn't motivated to do that. Is there any way to use the timing and direction provided by that indicator to trigger a trade in NT8 which is the platform I use for execution? A lot of the signals come overnight when I'm asleep. I don't have any coding skills at all. If it is possible I will look for someone to program this for me.
Best,
Dave

Hello Dave,

I am not aware of any direct way to send orders from ThinkOrSwim to NinjaTrader.

There is an API that can be utilized to send orders from an external application in to NinjaTrader. Below is a link to details on the API.
