NinjaTrader's ATI (Automated Trading Interface) provides efficient protocols to communicate trading signals from various external sources to NinjaTrader for the automation of order execution.

NOTE: This interface is ONLY used for processing trade signals generated from external applications and is not a full blown brokerage/market data API. If you are interested in automated trading using native NinjaScript strategies please proceed to the following help guide section.

NinjaTrader provides a TradeStation Email Interface, File Interface, DLL Interface, .NET Interface and COM Interface which ensures that you can communicate with NinjaTrader from any application such as but not limited to:

• Popular charting applications such as but not limited to TradeStation, eSignal, NeoTicker and Investor RT
• Custom applications written in but not limited to Visual Studio .NET, Visual Basic, Delphi and MS Excel
• Black box trading systems

The automated trading interface is bi-directional. To enable automated trading, select the Automated Trading menu from the Control Center's File menu.
