Finally, NinjaTrader has Options on futures! about 10 years late to the party though.
I've been trading them in simulation, and the interface/process is abysmal from what I have seen.
Does anyone have any tips/tricks? Mainly, is there any way route spreads simultaneously as OCO? Can't believe it's 2019 and we're stuck with single legged option strategies, but I suppose it is brand new still.

So here is NT8 Option Chain.....
I recently requested an Option Risk Graph from @NinjaTrader and they told me....
Super hard to believe, honestly. I feel strongly NT8 Option Chain will never get off the ground without this mandatory tool. We need to be able, in addition, to send multiple legged orders all together as a calendar spread or butterfly etc etc etc for example.
I don't really feel like I'm asking for the world here. This is very basic.
My next email in response to NT was this....
They then responded with this.....
Trouble is.... with Ninja's current feature request system it is based off of how many people request said feature...not.... what actually makes sense like an Option Risk Graph.....and the ability to send multi-leg orders.

For clarity, NinjaTrader options support will be released in multiple phases.
Phase I - Options trading support (basic) including Options Chain Window (Released)
Phase II - Support for multiple legged orders (just entering specification process --> no ETA for release)
Phase III - Analysis (risk graph as you put it) --> No ETA

Thanks for the education, I am not an Options guy. These are terms I was using. Yes, Phase III. I will correct the post.

@Blash: the thing which would be very useful is a programmatically way to:
- get a list of the symbols for an underlying (possibly filtered by expiration dates)
- subscribe to these symbols to get real time data
If this is possible then creating some AddOns which will show a risk graph or able to send complex/legged orders would be doable.
This should already exists internally, as the Option Chain tool is working for Kinetick/IQFeed/IB and Continuum, it simply have to be available for coders.
@NinjaTrader, what do you think? It may be a good solution to let external developers work on this.
Providing NS access is something slated to explore during Phase III.
