3rd Party Indicators


Will Your 3rd Party (custom) Indicator Work with BloodHound

BloodHound can read 3rd-party indicators, provided they expose their data using NinjaTrader's recommended Plot and/or a Series<T> as specified in their Help guide.  BloodHound does not require special coding by 3rd-party indicators to read/use them.  As long as the indicator is programmed in accordance with NinjaTrader's built-in indicator it will be readable by BloodHound.
We are not able to comment on any particular indicator, because we have no way of knowing how the author programmed it.  Nor will other vendors give us their indicators for testing.

Generally speaking, if the indicator is not readable by BloodHound it is not readable by any indicator and can not be used in a strategy or to build a system.  You may kindly ask the indicator's developer to follow NinjaTrader's 'Best Practices for Distribution', and expose the data for BloodHound.   See 'Expose Indicator States' at the bottom... https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/best_practices.htm

BloodHound has an unlimited trial period, so that you can test your indicators with BH on your computer.  More information on our trial can be found here...  https://www.sharkindicators.com/bloodhound/trial-info/
