NINJATRADER TO CTRADER TRADE COPIER
This is the user guide for 'NinjaTrader to cTrader' trade copier.
Quick notes:
1. This copier suite includes three components:
- NinjaTrader trade signal 'indicator' - NTCTSignals
- Relay Bridge app
- cTrader Copier bot - NTCTCopier.algo
2. This copier suite can support multiple signal sources to multiple copier bot configurations.
If you have multiple signal sources, please remember to set one unique 'Copy Group ID String' at both signal and its follower copier bots that will partition that as a separate copy group. It will be elaborated at later setup descriptions. You could skip this if you only have one signal source.
3. This copier only supports NinjaTrader position copy. That means 'no TP/SL' and 'no limit/stop' orders will be copied. However, when an order gets closed by hitting its TP/SL price, this copier will send out order close action to cTrader. When a limit/stop order gets fulfilled, this copier will send out market order entry to cTrader.
- Relay bridge app
It is to relay the trade signals between NinjaTrader signal and cTrader copier bot.
Please run 'relay bridge app' first.
Unzip RelayBridge.zip file and then run RelayBridge.exe from the unzipped folder. It should be exited at last after you close NinjaTrader and cTrader.
