Is there a way to flip the data around in Ninja for forex pairs? On more than one occasion, I absent mindedly short the CAD against the dollar because I am so used to going long in EUR/USD, AUD/USD, GBP/USD but then in USD/CAD I will try and short the dollar by going long when it is short that I intended. I think this will also help me study strength in potential crosses. I know I could just look at futures or against the yen, but work with me here. Is this possible? and if so, can I submit the orders to IB thru ninja and it work correctly?

I am pretty sure this would require custom programming in NT. You can easily flip a chart in Sierra Chart, but I am not aware if the orders can be reversed or not. You might look into it.

Why don't you use currency futures?

What you can do is flip the colors of your FX pro, it helps to visualize. In case you don't know how, just right click on the FX pro and go under properties.
