Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The eSignal sample code below illustrates the use of the NinjaTrader NtDirect.dll within an eSignal EFS script. The function preMain() loads the various DLL functions. The function main() places an order. There is also additional wrapper samples created as examples. The sample is also saved as an EFS file located at <NinjaTrader Installation Folder>\bin\AutoTrade\NTSample.efs.
