TRADESTATION: Installation of messaging functions and samples for TradeStation
After the installation program finishes, a signal is sent to your TradeStation to import the Triage messaging functions and samples.
All Triage EasyLanguage messaging functions will be imported into your TradeStation EasyLanguage library. Please wait (usually less than a half-minute) for TradeStation to start the messaging functions import process. The TradeStation EasyLanguage code import wizard will guide you through this process as shown in the following screenshots.
During installation, you may get the following pop-up window that says you must manually import the sample.eld file. If so, then please follow the directions details.
Otherwise, press “next” after you see that all function, indicator, paint bar, show me and strategy analysis types are selected in the import wizard.
Next, you will be asked to select all available analysis techniques and hit the “finish” button.
Follow the remainder of the import wizard as TradeStation adds all Triage messaging functions and samples to your trading platform.

On your computer, look for a C:\Users\<user>\Documents\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\Custom folder that contains Triage_NinjaTrader_Msg.dll. <user> refers to your Windows user.
Depending on your version of Windows and your user name, the Triage Messaging DLL for NinjaTrader could be located in a folder named: C:\Users\admin\Documents\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\Custom or under your Windows Documents folder. For NinjaTrader 7, look for a NinjaTrader 7 folder.
Look in the 'Indicator' and 'Strategy' folders (as shown with the red arrows below) for samples of how to use Triage Messaging in NinjaTrader. Please take a look at the TriageMessaging.cs files as examples of how to send messages from your NinjaTrader.
SIERRA CHART: Installing messaging functions and samples
For Sierra Chart, you will see the sample messaging studies in your ACS_Source folder. This will normally be located in C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source.
The installation program tries to locate folder C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source. If the folder exists, then it will copy the Triage_Message.cpp sample file to that ACS_Source folder. Please open Triage_Message.cpp for a detailed example of how to use Triage Messaging.
