Anyone know if I can make something like this with Sterling API?: http://lotusbrokerage.com/images/screenshots/ninja_trader/dom.gif
No you cannot. I know it in the API manual is does have a field for the depth of the book data... But is doesn't work
As much as I hate COM and their API, I've had a great deal of success with Sterling. The COM aspect was probably bad years ago, but with C++/CLI and .NET languages, the auto-generated wrappers make the platform tolerable. Except for maybe Anvil, I think Sterling has the most usable front end.
Do you have to have a program like Sterling to get the data? If you paying for the data there should be a way to have access to it without a platform. Is the solution FIX protocol?

Hello, i would like to kindly revive this topic so that I can pick your brains about how to connect to the sterling trader via a program developed in c#. I know that it says that the c# is inferior to VB, but that's because ST has made it's platform not in an efficient way and oriented to archaic programming languages, but that doesn't mater. From what I've red it should support .NET 4.0, and i would like to try it with 4.50 or 4.51, if it will work, otherwise i'll choose .NET 4.0 from visual studio (if possible). Would some kind soul help me out how to connect to the portal? I'm fairly new to programming in c# but I have a moderate understanding how to manipulate and check the variables that I can get from Sterling Trader. From the .net c# examples I didn't see any program that actually connects to the program, so if anybody can spare some time to paste a code how to connect I would be eternally grateful. Thanks guys.
If u want I can share with u source of my program. Here is clip how it works: http://46.148.89.197/MarketCalendar/ && exe. Code is little bit dirty and without comments but u should understand. I do not put try{}catch{} blocks in right places so there is a possibility that program will threw exceptions closing itself and Sterling Remember that you must run Visual Studio(and compiled exe) as Administrator if you want to connect to Sterling. PM me.
