Hey everyone, this is my first post but I've been watching the forums for a while and have learnt a lot!

I have been slowly getting myself setup with all my software for trading and am using Ninja Trader (NT) as my weapon of choice for backtesting as well as stock alerting on EOD data using the market analyser (at least this is my hope). The data is pulling in free from Yahoo which is obviously a plus, then when I find a stock to trade I can fine tune the entry using free intraday data from ADVFN.

My issue at the moment is the manual updating of instruments in the instrument manager. The NT forums contain posts from people asking about bulk uploads but being told it is not available, however there is one such file they provide for free for the S&P500 (attached). Effectively I am now trying to hack this file apart to perform a bulk upload for the FTSE100 / FTSE350 which should hopefully also include the links to the Yahoo historical data and web links to the live ADVFN feeds.

If anyone has done anything like this I'd be interested to hear from you, alternatively if this is useful to you then post on here and I'll make sure I upload it at the end. To be honest I probably will anyway but would be nice to get some feedback to my first post :cool:

Regards,

Knight_Trader

Does the Ninja Trader market screener allow you to access the results and pass them in to the main C# program? I am looking at building the results from the market scanner into my main C# program I will be building? is this possible?

eg can I build a market screener then use this data automatically in my C# program????
