Datafeed from NT8 to NT7

[⭐ goldeneagle1]

Is there a way to relay live datafeed coming into NT8 to NT7? TIA!

While there is no direct, built-in method to relay live data from NinjaTrader 8 (NT8) to NinjaTrader 7 (NT7), you can achieve this using a custom solution. One possible approach involves creating a custom script or tool that connects to the live data feed in NT8, then sends the data to NT7 through a TCP/IP connection or another communication method.

 

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. In NT8, create a custom add-on that connects to the live data feed, subscribes to the required instruments, and reads the incoming data.
   
2. Establish a TCP/IP server within the add-on, which sends the live data received in NT8 to an external client.
   
3. In NT7, create a custom data provider that connects to the TCP/IP server hosted in the NT8 add-on as a client. This custom data provider should receive the data from NT8 and update the charts or strategies in NT7 accordingly.

I don't undertand this issue...Rithmic datafeed is available both for NT8 or for NT7 same username and password....maybe it would be interesting to know how to connect Rithmic datafeed from NT7 to NT8 since the latter 8 release doesn't have Rithmic in accunt folder

Hi laser1000it - Here is a use case: What if we have a pricey datafeed with 1 credentials that allows only 1 connection, and have to use NT7 indicators not yet ported to NT8, and execute trades in NT8?

 

Thanks very much to imfm for the suggestions!

Jigsaw daytradr has an indicator called JTConnection that allows to linjk market data of a chart to the Daytradr software. A possibiliy to get that data to NT7 would be cool.

Hello,

 

I really like the nt7 in terms of performance. If I had a chance to use crypto data on nt7, I wouldn't bother with nt8.
