Interesting ... not sure if you're serious, but if you are ...

Why can't you hook that puppy up yourself using NT's AT Interface and custom OIF files?

Name these text files as "NinjaTrader 7/incoming/oif.txt" and bam! -- instant hook-up!


Hello BltDavid >>

I don't know how we can make those files etc... but the idea sounds pretty dang awesome. I would be cool be able to go long 2 or more instruments at the same time or the inverse go long one and short the inverse correlated one.

Very very cool... That would give options.

It would be great to create a rival to Keyboard trader for much much lower cost. If the reliability is the same.

There is a dialog helper in NinjaTrader to generate these files, see attached screenshot.

It brings up the Automated Trading OIF Builder window.

In addition to the physical trading keyboard that prompted this thread, you might consider using AutoHotKey.

I believe if you search for AutoHotKey here on nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) you'll find numerous examples.

BTW, the AutoHotkey community had some rifts recently, and forked to implement a major upgrade, but the two sites appear to be reconciling their differences.

Awesome... I was thinking of using Auto-Hotkey also... for sure. I have used it a little bit before and it is a highly functional program! :O
