  2. Yes.
    A: Learn programming.
    B: Read documentation of a provider that allows to enter orders.
    C: Program.

    Alternatively:

    A: Hire someone with a clue.

    Sorry, this is not "what is the formula of an EMA". It is more complicated.

    Do you know someone can do it? Or you can do that?

  4. I can - anyone who ever does NInja-Independent order handling has done that.

    At the end, what is left is then that ninja is nothing more than a charting tool. You know, there are people using separate programs for charting and for trading (i.e. order entry being separate). That is then the same - just all in one program.

    Good order management then allows you to switch from Ninja internal order handling to your external one - simulate internally, trade externally. As crappy as it is.

    That said; I can do it, you can likely not pay it - and I REALLY do not like touching NInja any ever again. And no, it will not be cost effective - just pay a ninja license if you want it cheap.

    The point is the Ninja is free to download. However, you cannot trade the free version in a live account. All that a license gets you is it unlocks being able to send orders through its internal OMS (order management system) . But if you build your own OMS and call those functions inside a NinjaScript, it allows you to not pay anything since you never needed to unlock anything. It is clunky but possible.

    The problem is that people in business need to make a profit. Otherwise just use an open source tool.
