I don't know much about MultiCharts, but the new .NET version implies you can code using C#. I am looking for alternatives to NinjaTrader, but need the Level II data.

Does anyone know if the Level II data is available in C# or had any experience coding within their environment?

Sure you can get level 2 data on Mc.Net

Is there any example code for me to look at that uses Level 2 data?

I will make an attempt to get one.
But, I know Chris from EasyLanguage Programmer | Multicharts | Tradestation has extensive knowledge of MC
He participates on NexusFi (formerly BMT) as well.

NJAMC,

you can check the build in indicators _Market_Depth_on_Chart_ and _Market_Depth_on_Chart_2_ they show how to call the DOM data.

I don't actually have the application to look at the code.
