How to connect to python

[angelvincent37]

Hello,
I'm trying to connect Python to ninja in order to create a custom strategy. I have a compiled custom indicator but I don't have access to methods that return useful parameters to me. To solve the problem I thought of connecting python so that I could use image recognition and use the data that the indicator provides me. So far there should be no problems, the problem arises when this data must be imported within the strategy and unfortunately I have not found documentation about it.
Thanks to who will help me!

Hello angelvincent37,

NinjaTrader uses the C# 5.0 programming language targeting .NET 4.8 for developing custom NinjaScript AddOns. Using external programming languages is not documented or supported and we would not be able to provide assistance.
Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom is the proper place for a 3rd party referenced assembly dll.

Support for 3rd party assemblies is limited. Our team is able to assist with adding the dll and a reference to the dll, however we cannot assist with its use, or with any errors or unexpected behavior that may occur.

With that said, we are happy to forward any insightful information we happen to be aware of.

Below is a link to the help guide on referencing a 3rd party assembly dll.

Any referenced managed assembly will need to target .NET Framework 4.8 or lower. Other versions of .NET will not work, such as .NET Core or .NET 5.

Alternatively, unmanaged assemblies can be P/Invoked:

It's possible to use Nuget with Visual Studio to compile dlls for use in NinjaTrader:

Another option to consider is using the NinjaTrader API NTDirect.dll to interface an external application written in another language with NinjaTrader.
