Introducing CrossTrade's REST API for NinjaTrader 8
NinjaTraders,
We want to share an exciting update. CrossTrade (part of the NinjaTrader ecosystem) just released the brand new CrossTrade NT8 Add-On, and with it comes a fully-functional REST API for NinjaTrader.
We're not native C#/.NET programmers and it's not our first choice of language, so coding in NinjaScript is honestly a pain.
If you're algotraders like us, you most likely have data sources you're analyzing outside of NinjaTrader as well. We wanted a way to execute through NT8 while being able to send orders from any code or 3rd-party service, anywhere in the world, directly to our NT8 desktop application. Now you can code autotrading bots in Python, Javascript, Java, Go, or even assembly!
Installation is as simple as installing any other NT8 Add-On. As long as the Add-On is connected, you're live.
Learn how to authenticate and interact with the API here: https://docs.crosstrade.io/api/overview
The REST API is the same underlying functionality CrossTrade uses to execute orders from inbound webhook requests from TradingView. It's battle-tested and used to execute hundreds of thousands of orders in NT8 every day.
For non-developers, we also released a bunch of enhancements to the webhook functionality, including the ability to require market position before execution, setting a max number of positions allowed at one time, and the option to set trading windows per-alert message.
