NinjaTrader requirements before code

I turn one NinjaTrader programming request into explicit platform, timing, state and acceptance rules. The first step is a bounded technical scope. It is not a trading recommendation or a performance claim.

Define the software scope Open NinjaTrader

The NinjaTrader link is a referral link. StratCoreAlpha may receive affiliate compensation if a new user registers through it. This does not change the registration price.

Scope before implementation

Freeze the platform version, data source, calculation timing, state transitions and exclusions before code starts.

Reproducible acceptance

Use positive, negative and restart cases that another developer can repeat in a demo or simulation environment.

Bounded claims

Software behavior can be tested. Profitability, fills, drawdown and future trading results are not promised.

Relationship to NinjaTrader

No NinjaTrader company has any affiliation with the owner, developer, or provider of the products or services described herein, or any interest, ownership or otherwise, in any such product or service, or endorses, recommends or approves any such product or service.

Trading risk disclosure

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading, and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical performance disclosure

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. There are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. Hypothetical results are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight, do not involve financial risk, and cannot completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. Market conditions, the ability to withstand losses, and adherence to a trading program can all materially affect actual results.
