Ninjatrader and python connection

[7robert]

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to make a connection via API to NT from Python, I know that officially it cannot but I would like to investigate more about this and see what content I can access from the dll and which dll I should use.

Thanks

Hello 7robert,

Thank you for your note.

The DLL interface allows any external application that can import DLLs to communicate with NinjaTrader through the documented methods found here:

As long as you can find a Python library that can import the DLL then it can be used in your program. The methods that belong to the Strategy class are separate from all of this. If you wanted an automated trading system implemented through the DLL interface your Python code must manage every aspect of the strategy. We have an example program here that might be helpful:

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