Below are the variable explanations:
1. Symbol map list - if NinjaTrader's instrument name is different with MetaTrader's, please input as below format (MT4's symbol name first, comma, then NinjaTrader's)
If your MT4 symbol name is BITCOIN while NT8 symbol name is BTCUSD,
input
BITCOIN,BTCUSD;
if two pairs,
BITCOIN,BTCUSD;XAUUSD,GOLD;
2. Lot multiplier list - NinjaTrader's lot is at least one and it should be integer. It won't take the lot of 0.01 that should be multiplied in advance.
For instance, input
EURUSD,10000;XAUUSD,1000;
If simply input
10000
Then all trade lots at MT4 will be multiplied by 10000.
3. Order magic number list - you could assign specific magic number for trade signalling.
For multiple magic, separate each with comma.
For instance, 3413434,1343292
Default is a blank string, i.e. applying on all trades.
4. Applicable symbol list - you could restrict to specific symbol/instruments. Separate each with comma, e.g. EURUSD,XAUUSD,USOIL
Default is a blank string, i.e. applying on all symbols.
5. Reverse trade - if setting true, it will reverse the trade signal to NinjaTrader.
For instance, a LONG trade will be signalled as a SHORT trade.
6. Session time - default is from 00:00-24:00
7. Alert and panel settings - that should be self explanatory.
8. If you have two more MT4 inside one computer to send trade signals to NinjaTrader, you could set 'Copy group id string' variable (e.g. ABCD, LONDON, INST) at MT4 signal EA. At NinjaTrader side, set the same string texts at NinjaTrader Copier's 'Copy group id string' as well. Then this MT4 and NinjaTrader will become a specific copy pair.
9. Lot mode option. Default is to use MetaTrader trade lot size. Another is to use the fixed lot size. If this option is selected, please also set 'Fixed Lot' variable.
It will later multiply the lot multiplier (if applicable) before sending to NinjaTrader.
