I don't know much about MultiCharts, but the new .NET version implies you can code using C#. I am looking for alternatives to NinjaTrader, but need the Level II data.

Does anyone know if the Level II data is available in C# or had any experience coding within their environment?

Sure you can get level 2 data on Mc.Net

Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Is there any example code for me to look at that uses Level 2 data?

I will make an attempt to get one.
But, I know Chris from EasyLanguage Programmer | [AUTOLINK]Multicharts[/AUTOLINK] | Tradestation has extensive knowledge of MC
He participates on futures.io (formerly BMT) as well.

NJAMC,

you can check the build in indicators _Market_Depth_on_Chart_ and _Market_Depth_on_Chart_2_ they show how to call the DOM data.

I don't actually have the application to look at the code.
