options strategy

[jeddah62]

I'm new to NT strategies and am wondering if it's possible to build strategies around equity options?

If so, do you specify symbols for contracts using the same symbol names found in TWS?

Is the processing identical to equity processing using OnBarUpdate, etc?

Any other differences one needs to be aware of for option strategies.

thx

jeddah62, unfortunately we don't support trading options at this time.

You can create spread / hedge strategies through the use of a multiple instrument strategy - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/MultiTimeFrameInstruments.html

Same concept is extended to indicators then for NinjaTrader 7 - http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/NT7/NinjaTrader7.html
