How to Convert Tradestation Strategy to Ninjatrader
- 1). Examine your indicator or program to find the most complex portions that will require the most translation. NinjaTrader has created an Automated Trading Interface (ATI) for the translation of code from popular services such as eSignal, NeoTicker and Tradestation.
- 2). Analyze the different interface options and choose the one that is most appropriate for your level of coding knowledge. Tradestation has an email interface that uses EasyLanguage's email capability to notify NinjaTrader of the trades to execute. This is the simplest integration and does not require altering your original Tradestation code.
- 3). Choose the DLL interface if you are an experienced programmer, because it can be used for advanced manipulation of the Tradestation code. The string definitions are provided in NinjaTrader's ATI. The Ninjatrader allows for this code to execute all the core functions of the platform, including trade execution, strategy and order manipulation. Ninjatrader can also provides a code that converts Tradestation market data for your new DLL program.
