Simulated trading game

Sleeping Troll · 08-08-2010, 10:02 AM

I have been pulling hair looking for a suitable trading simulation for use as a competition on my NT partner website ticktach.com. I really haven't found anything that really did the trick, and then it hit me! What better way to introduce folks to NT than to use NinjaTrader for the simulation?

However to do that I would need an API... Sooo, what do you think?

Very nice idea Sleeping Troll - while not a full API, we have a versatile ATI that could be used -

Yeah, that would probably work Bertrand! I would need to create a simulated brokerage online to resolve orders, user would simply create an account connection to ticktach... oh oh, gonna need a little help with that or at least a nudge in the right direction... is there anyone at NT willing to provide a little extra support?

Sleeping Troll, this is unfortunately outside of the scope we can support here, you would not be able to create an own account connection / adapter for your sim brokerage - however you should be able to send orders for execution via the supported DLL or NET interface to NT.
