NinjaTrader client
One strategy on the chart. The server decides what it may do.
The Bridge shows everything and arms nothing on its own.
Pair once
Read the Machine ID from NinjaTrader (Help → About), register it in Forge, and ConnectQ approves it. Unknown machines are listed as pending and receive nothing.
Deploy per chart slot
Each chart runs one slot. From Forge you assign a proven setup to a slot; the Bridge picks it up within a poll cycle. Remove it and the chart stops arming just as fast.
Nothing arms from the chart
The strategy has no parameter that enables trading. Enablement is a server decision per machine and setup, with a global kill switch that disarms every client within one poll.
Fail-safe by default
If the Bridge cannot reach ConnectQ beyond its time-to-live, it arms nothing new. Live trading requires a fresh, signed configuration.
It reads your setup, not a summary
The Bridge parses the blocks and the nested gate tree you built and evaluates them on every bar. How much NinjaTrader reconciliation sits behind each block differs, and the chart and the setup screen both say which.
Full context on the chart
Bias, levels, swing-failure state, order flow and the reasoning panel — the same picture the model used — drawn on your chart so you can watch it work.
On the chart
What the panels tell you
- trigger
- FVG gap · min 2t · refr 10b
- entry
- LIMIT at level · expires 40b
- size
- 2 legs × 1 · tilt ×2 idle · cap 2
- exits
- SL 100t · TP 120t · trail 70t · time 20b · bias-loss
Your setup, read back by the strategy that trades it — the same gate tree, evaluated on every bar. ALL 1/1 BULLISH means the root group holds and permits longs only.
WARNING: LOW VOLUME (361/bar avg, floor 1000) — manual trading risky.
Armed, and standing down. The strategy is live, the setup is loaded, and it will not take a trade outside its hours — then it tells you the tape is too thin to trade by hand either.
