Setting up Tradestation with Ninja

[Baseheadz]

I would like to automate my Tradestation strategies and send the orders to NT. I have looked at the help files and I could not get anywhere. Is there a tutorial for using either the event driven email sync or the dll?

Do I need to use the paid version of ninja trader with automated strategies enabled? Thanks

If you want to use NinjaTrader to execute any real orders you will need the pay version.

To connect to TradeStation for data you will need to follow the steps outlined here: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/ConnectingToTradeStationDataFeed.html

Can I send simulated orders through the free version of ninja trader? I want to make sure that this works with TS before I buy NT.

Yes, you can place sim orders to the Sim101 account.

I'm using the free version of NT 6.5 1000.5. I'm trading through Mirus Futures.
There is no ATI tab in the tools/options. I wanted to test the email connection from TS

Hello Baseheadz,

I suggest to upgrade to NinjaTrader 6.5.1000.6, our latest version. Please uninstall your current version first via Windows Control Panel-->Add/Remove Programs. You will save your settings, since these are located under My Documents-->NinjaTrader 6.5 and will not be deleted. Download our latest version at the link below.

See the screenshot for the location of the tab.

I installed the latest version of NT. I am attaching my options window to this message. There is no ATI tab.
