I've done lots of coding in TS over the years, but I am at the coding for dummies level in C#.

As a stop gap, I would like to be able to send indicator values from TS to NT in realtime. I bet one of you clever chaps or chappettes has already solved this or has a good idea of how to go about it. . .

I understand that GV can be used in both applications.

Yes, we have done it with NinjaTrader 7. Do you need help with Ninja and/or TS in terms of doing it?
maybe this will help: https://www.ninjatrader-support.com/Movies/ConnectionGuides/TradeStationConnectionGuide/TradeStationConnectionGuide.htm

If you PM I can also remote access your computer and set it up.

Thanks for responding mattz, just for clarification I am looking to use Global Variables to send indicator values, I am not looking to feed TS raw data to NT as outlined in the video.

Is it the Global Variables that you've worked with? I need help with that on the NT (receiving) side.

The closet thing we have done is send buy/sell signals for some our automated trading systems, and the NY implemented the risk management via it's ATM. I will dig further is GV could be done,

After talking to one of our customers that uses our TS and NT interface for execution, I was told that you can send GV to NT via the NT Direct.dll . I am sure some programming would be required to facilitate that.
I will let someone with a better programming experience to jump and help further.
