Hello
there is a company called https://marketreplay.net/ which created their own way of downloading replay data from Ninja Traders servers without the "1 at a time" date restriction.
It is interesting because they built a module in which it inserts itself in the menu bar of the Utility menu and lets you access their form of downloading replay data.
However, they must have hacked Ninja's inner class libraries (meaning become aware of something that is not readily available but open for people to use) and connected to it because I believe are using Ninja to download data without the "1 at a time" thing. So they can download an entire year, etc..
Plus I think they store some older on their server so they might mix it.
My question is:
1. How does one actually input their own form and add it to Ninja's menu items in the Utility menu section?
2. How would one actually access Ninja's Replay Data Class Library and make up their own code using their library so that there are multiple dates in which one can download?
I am looking to just build my own but I am also wanting to learn how to do all of this cool genius like stuff
Obviously if somebody can access Ninja's Replay Data Class Library, it is open for anybody to use. however, how does one become aware of it in the first place? Does this have to do with attaching one of Ninja's DLL's to Visual Studio and taking a peek ?
this was all done on Ninja 7. Perhaps Ninja 8 works differently ?
thank you
Spencer
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
To clarify @NinjaTrader reply:
- you can easily add menu items in a "supported" way
- you can't write an NT8 AddOn to download multiple instruments/days of replay data
AFAIK there is no public method for this purpose.

I wonder how people then add menus to their own personal gui forms in NT7 when it is unsupported. All of that unsupported activity is what prompted Raymond to actually write in Add on supported methods. Those developers that found a way actually contributed to making NT8 much better probably
Therefore it is probably in NinjaTaders best interest to have MORE things on their forum to showing how to do "unsupported things" to developers that might not yet know how to do something. Once they are given one bread crumb, they can usually find the rest on their own.
