Market data integration NT8 platform: NT8 master and metatrader 5 slave

[janiodesouza]

I am interested in developing a market data integration for the NinjaTrader 8 platform.

I am lifetime nt8, and, need to connect to other brokers that have metatrader 5.

The metatrader 5 already has API that I can access the market data at any depth level.

The idea is to develop a connector where nt8 is the master and metatrader 5 is the slave.

- Can you help me make the NT8 API available so I can do this?

Hello janiodesouza,

The Application Programming Interface (API) is available in the NTDirect.dll and NinjaTrader.Client.dll files for you to use in an external application to interface with NinjaTrader. These two files provide the same functions, however, you may find the NinjaTrader.Client.dll is easier to reference in your application.

Support for the API is limited from NinjaTrader Support. We are not able to assist with any code in an application external to NinjaTrader. We are able to detail the usage of any methods available from the API.

Below I am providing a link to the help guide that lists the functions available to the API.

The NTDirect.dll can be found in:

• C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64

The NinjaTrader.Client.dll can be found in:

• 32 bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 8\bin\NinjaTrader.Client.dll
• 64 bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 8\bin64\NinjaTrader.Client.dll

Below I am providing a link to a forum post with further details and an unsupported sample project.

Please let me know if I may provide further information.
