In NinjaTrader 6.5 and 7-32bit, the old end-user created-for-TradeStation dll GlobalVariable could be used (imported as an unmanaged dll) to send live-data integers, doubles, and strings from one chart to another. For obvious reasons, that dll does not work in the 64bit memory management.
Is there a substitute for it in 64-bit Ninja? (Maybe it is really a C# thing, but I'm not very good in C# yet).

Yes you can do this. Although it's been too long since I used NT, and now I can't remember what it was called so I can't help you. But this thread so hopefully someone else will.

You can use static variables, they are basically global variables.
