Hi Everyone,
I just started using NinjaTrader for executing trades in funded prop trading accounts and am in the process of figuring out how to integrate some more powerful models into the NinjaTrader software sending orders to Tradovate. Am familiar with trading APIs and looked at NinjaTrader's but would like to reach out to the community to see how other people are doing it.
Have come to the following conclusions for development:
1. Use one of the external patches for python integration: https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/...in-ninjatrader
2. Stream data from the NinjaTrader API into python scripts: https://developer.ninjatrader.com/docs/api
3. DIY integration with IronPython: https://github.com/IronLanguages/iro...ses/tag/v3.4.2
Does anyone have something to say about which is the fastest mode of action? Configuring the API feeds and looping python scripts back into NinjaTrader for execution might be overkill if the patches in NinjaTrader's forum are capable of streaming the data from NinjaTrader into the python scripts as a recognized add-on.
