Multicharts or Tradestation Interfaced to Ninja Trader.

I am using a trading system in Multicharts OR Tradestation2000i OR Tradestation8 and need to get this to interface with Ninja trader, so that I can have this system trade automatically with Futuresbetting.com.

 

I want to use multicharts OR Tradestation with Ninja Trader to execute trades.

The problem is Multicharts uses the format (DDE:SPZ) but Ninja Trader does not recognise the colon as Ninja Trader requires format (SPZ) therefore the symbol cannot be mapped.

 

Note: I know Multicharts interfaces with Interactive broker, but I cant use them because its taxable and futuresbetting is tax free spreadbet.

 

Can anybody help?

Why do you think Futuresbetting.com is Tax Free ? I worry more about making proftable trade decisions, and I'm quite willing to pay tax on earnings. To my way of thinking , you already have your answer.

That's a UK tax regulation, but usually the disadvantages of spread betting (wider spread) outweigh the tax advantage.

Thanks, but its not what I asked. Spreadbetting save the tax bills and futuresbetting is tax free. I need specific input about the interface. If you make small profits, then sure normal taxed trading is ok, but as more profits are made then spread betting pays off. Ive done the maths already.

As Harlequin pointed out in the UK spread betting is tax free. Though as for whether the spreads out weigh the tax benefits that depends on a variety of things. Unless you are a scalper probably not though.

 

Futresbetting have (up to now) a rather unique model. They offer direct market access in a spread bet 'wrapper'. This has the advantages of DMA and the tax incentives (for UK residents) of spread betting. The only down side is that the fees are a little steep compared with a regular no frills broker.

 

Precision your best bet (pardon the pun) is probably NT / MC support/forums. Dosen't NT support ascii file monitoring for trades? You could use easy language or power language to manipulate the string before writing to a file maybe?

      How did you suspect you have cancer?

      By analyst75 · Posted

      Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
