Create a strategy/backtest based on 3rd party indicator

10-13-2022, 10:36 AM

Hi
I subscribe to a 3rd party indicator which provides signals on the chart.

Is it possible to 'tap' into the indicator using ninjascript to check when there is a signal so a strategy and backtest can be run ?

Cheers
Paul

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your note.

When using 3rd party indicators, it is up to developer to determine what is and is not accessible from their script. Please see the note at the top of this page for more information:

NinjaScript > Educational Resources > Using 3rd Party Indicators

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/using_3rd_party_indicators.htm

In order to see what information might be available for use in other scripts, please reach out to the developer directly for assistance.

Thank you for using NinjaTrader.
