]]> In this relatively short video guide we’ll be guiding you through exporting your indicators and strategies in NinjaTrader. Should you want to sell them, or just move them to another system, the export feature is a quick and easy way to move your code over. With the introduction of NinjaTrader 7, you can now protect that code as well, so you won’t have any unwanted viewers of your proprietary code.

]]> When using Rithmic Trader‘s DOM window (Order Book) a lot of scrolling is involved if you want a limit or stop order that’s far away from the market, or if you have several windows open. There are a few usability features however, that will make your life a lot easier. In this video we’ll show you how to center the DOM window quickly and how to freeze it at a certain price level, so it’s not scrolling slowly back to center.

]]> In this video guide we’ll detail placement of an OCO order in Rithmic Trader (R|Trader). A One Cancels Other order (an OCO, also referred to as One Cancels All) placed through the Order Book is a set of orders that are placed simultaneously such that when any one of them is completed (either filled, cancelled or partially filled with its balance cancelled), the others will be cancelled (or balance cancelled, as the case may be), automatically by the Rithmic system.
