Bottom Up or Top Down?

This is an interesting idea

But then he would have to support each datafeed. I'm sure each company structures their feed differently, unless there is some standard protocol for it. The convenience of working with ninja is that ninja does all the work supporting zenfire, iqfeed, ib, esignal, etc etc so that he doesn't have to bother breaking down each feed to separate the data.

yes - they all have a different API

Other platforms have their own api so it would not be too difficult to port DT's custom DOM over to xtrader or sierra, probably not too hard to program to display numbers and add and subtract.

Well - the idea would be it wouldn't hook up to any platform - straight to the broker. If this did happen, it would be to go to complete independence and not just to another platform. Ninja is a good partner to be honest and although they do have a few... ropey partners, they really are great to work with.

Good for you for being open about it. If nobs and doms are your thing, you don't have to be ashamed. Everyone has their preferences.

I didn't comment on that. Not sure how John Grady feels about being the author of a NOBS book....
