I.Introduction

Before Ticker Tocker, we understand that many traders have a platform of their choice for creating strategies and executing trades. With Ticker Tocker’s release, we make it easy for you to keep your current strategies in your existing platforms and send buy and sell signals generated from your existing strategies.

In this document, we will cover how you can send to Ticker Tocker buy and sell signals from your current platforms.

II. 3rd Party Platform Support

As long as your current platform has language features for making http requests or sending emails, then you can send your signals to Ticker Tocker. 

We have examples of sending signals for the following platforms: 

NinjaTrader

Sierra Chart

MetaTrader5

Quantopian

III. Assumptions

This documentation assumes that you are familiar with one or more supported 3rd party platforms and that you have custom strategies created in one or more of these existing platforms. Creating custom strategies in the list of supported platforms is out of the scope of this documentation.

While Ticker Tocker’s strategy creator Drag & Drop requires no knowledge of coding, we assume that if you or your team has created custom strategies using any of the supported 3rd party platforms, you have basic knowledge of coding required for the rest of the documentation. We have sample code written in the respective languages (ninjascript, mq5…etc) of the supported 3rd party platforms.
