Reference
What is where.
Not for day one. What the installer put on your PC and what it is for, and what the bridge can read off the charts that ship with it. Come back here when you want to know where something lives. The agent guide, the indicator references and the sample pages ship with the bridge, so what you get is these layouts with your data. Change the prompt and you change the page, or the marks.
The demonstration video: the recorded walkthrough, live. Later prompt corrections and separately dated examples are identified in the guide. https://youtu.be/MQ3-PlVM6t0
The AI Bridge menu
Help > High Tech Trading Analysis > AI Bridge, in NinjaTrader’s Control Center. The optional change permissions start off: one click enables each, no restart. The bridge’s own on/off tick is separate and its state is remembered. Every permission box in this guide points back to this picture.
| Line | What the tick does |
|---|---|
| AI Bridge (port N) | The bridge itself, on or off. The number is the local port your assistant connects to (47831 by default). Off, nothing answers. |
| Set port... | Pick another local port if 47831 is taken. Applies at once, no restart. |
| Charts | Open a chart, copy one into a tab or a new window. Changing an open chart needs the __HTAIBridge indicator on it instead. |
| Workspaces | Anything that changes a workspace: open, create, save, switch. |
| Orders | Work an order you placed: attach, move, detach, cancel, get flat. Never places entry orders; get flat can submit market exits. |
| Chart Trader | Set the panel: account, ATM strategy, TIF, quantity. The click stays yours. |
| Scripts | Write, compile, add and remove NinjaScript indicators, strategies and columns. |
| Destructive | The second tick for anything that removes or overwrites: delete a workspace, close one unsaved, save over another, remove a script. Your yes in the chat is still asked for each one. |
| --- Unattended | Under Destructive: skip that yes. For a session you are watching anyway. |
| Pictures folder... / Data folder... | Where chart pictures and CSV files land. Defaults inside the kit folder. |
What is in the kit
The installer or installers you receive provide the add-on inside NinjaTrader and the kit folder your assistant works from. AI Bridge is an All Access (U-Suite) feature and requires that license.
| Piece | What it is |
|---|---|
| HTAIBridge add-on | Included with All Access (U-Suite). Menu: Help > High Tech Trading Analysis > AI Bridge (the on/off check and the Charts / Workspaces / Orders / Chart Trader / Scripts / Destructive permissions, with --- Unattended under Destructive to skip its question) and Journal (trade-picture capture for the HT Trade Journal). |
| __HTAIBridge indicator | Your per-chart permission. On a chart = your assistant may mark it up, change its settings and indicators, change what it shows, save it as a template, work your orders on it (with the Orders switch) and close it. Removing it stops consent-gated changes. A chart the bridge opened this session retains limited series, window, tab and close operations; Chart Trader has its own window permission. Plots nothing, calculates nothing. A chart your assistant opened for you carries it already. |
| HTAIDarkData / HTAIDarkDraw / HTAIDarkBlank workspaces | Three NinjaTrader workspaces. Data: one 1-minute chart per instrument with the HT indicators loaded, for the reading questions. Draw: one NQ chart for the drawing questions. Blank: empty, for building your own. Open any of them from the Workspaces menu after install. |
| HTAIDark chart templates, HTDarkDefault indicator templates | Three chart templates your assistant can open charts from: HTAIDarkBlank (bare chart, permission indicator only), HTAIDarkBasic (the HT drawing set) and HTAIDarkAllPlots (everything, VWAPs and volume profiles included). Plus an HTDarkDefault template for every HT indicator, the dark look. Chart colors follow your skin; an indicator's own defaults are the light look, one template reset away. |
| AI Bridge kit | Installed to Documents\HTTA\HTAIBridge. What is in it:README.md is the one file you tell your assistant to read; it takes over from there.HTAIBRIDGE_START_HERE.html is the landing page, the place to start; Guide\ is the rest of it, one page per subject with sample prompts, the menu on the left.AI\ is what your assistant reads: its instructions, the bridge guide, one reference per HT indicator and one per HT drawing tool. You never need to open it.User Guides\ is one page per HT product, for you.Sample Reports\ holds the sample pages the Analyze page names, each with the script that built it. Python samples use the adjacent bridge_connection.py to find the saved port; your assistant keeps them together when making your copy.Pictures\ is where the pictures your assistant takes of a chart land, ready to post; the bridge clears its own after a day, so copy out any you want to keep.Data\ is the default for bar CSV exports when you give a bare file name. It is created on first use; Data folder... changes the default, and the bridge never sweeps these files.DEV\ is your workshop, empty on day one: cs\ for scripts your assistant writes before they go into NinjaTrader, backup\ for the copy of any script it replaced or took back out, py\ for the reports it builds and their scripts. Make subfolders as you like. |
What is on the charts
The HTAIDarkData workspace that ships with the bridge is not blank. Its main 1-minute data charts carry the HT indicators already loaded, so there are named values sitting there before you ask anything. Auxiliary charts can have a different indicator set.
| Indicator | What the assistant can read |
|---|---|
| VwapPlus × 3 Daily RTH, Daily ETH, Weekly | VWAP, three SD bands each side, previous periods' VWAPs and bands, midpoint lines. 22 values per instance, 66 in all. Add Monthly or Contract for more. |
| VPSessions × 3 Daily RTH, Daily ETH, Weekly | POC, value area high and low, session VWAP, midpoint, high, low, plus all of those for the previous session. 16 data plots per instance, 48 in all, plus one unused Dummy slot per instance. Continuous (Beta) must be on. |
| PriceTimesPlus | Prior day / week / month / contract highs, lows and closes, current ones, Globex and RTH opens, three opening ranges. 35 values. |
| Everything else | Every bar, every drawing with its anchors, every account, every fill. Add SupplyDemandMTF to a chart and its zone edges appear too; CumDelta and VPOrderFlow come later. |
| This data-chart setup | 149 data plots, plus three unused Dummy slots. The live chart’s indicator list and settings determine what is available. |
The full list, name by name, is in AI\Indicators, one file per indicator. Your assistant reads them the same way it reads the agent guide.
