Historical trades indicator

[Leeroy_Jenkins]

Hey,
Is there any way to get historical trades (placed manually) within indicator? I need time/price/exit etc.

Hello Leeroy_Jenkins,

Thank you for your post.

At this time there is not a supported method to retrieve historical executions from the local database.

I have added a vote for you to a current feature request to allow retrieval of historical trade information from the database. This request is being tracked under the number SFT-586.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Ok, thanks.

Maybe NT stores trades in some file which I can read with indicator?
I know I can save Trade Performance in file but it can't be automated, sadly.

Hello Leeroy_Jenkins,

Thank you for your reply.

NinjaTrader stores historical trades in the database file, which cannot be accessed via NinjaScript as previously stated. There is not a supported way to retrieve historical trades from the database to an indicator and there are no other places this information is stored.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Some lame solution but it will work.
If you save trades from Trade Performance into file (Autohotkey script can help with this) and write indicator which parses this file you will get trades.
Semi-automated cuz after every trade you need to launch script.
