Can I backtest option strategies with ninjatrader ?

[Tradewave]

Hello, I would like to create a system that would trade with stock options. Is it possible to backtest options in ninjatrader ?

Hi Tradewave, thanks for posting. There is currently only support for Futures, Stocks, and Forex backtests in the strategy analyzer. There is a feature request SFT-4404 asking for support for option indicators and strategies so they can be backtested. I will add a vote to this for you.

Kind regards,

When will NT be able to trade options? The platform is able to pull option chains, can support be added for strategies to place option orders? Even if backtesting wasn't available, this would be useful.

Thanks
