Driving Ninjatrader charts with web query price feed

October 19th, 2010, 10:34 PM

Hi, I have a query/response URL that gives forex rates...I'm trying to chart them with Ninjatrader (6.5 for now). I'm just wondering if anyone has even a general idea of where to start? I am trying to use C# Interop HttpWebRequest in the Ninjascript to start with, but I don't know whether to create an external DLL and use External Data Feed, or if there is some easy from within Ninjatrader to get web-based quotes

EDIT: I should mention that is for realtime charting

Thanks for any advice....

thank you, I'll read through it, and the COM and .NET interfaces...I know .NET has an HTTPWebRequest feature, perhaps that will lead to something.
