Hello,

Thank you for posting to the forums.

Equities are supported, but Options are not with IB at this time. Having said that however, IB does not offer historical tick data which would be required for the Order Flow tools to work as desired.

You may consider adding a secondary data provider like Kinetick, BarChart, eSignal, or IQ Feed to backfill the charts.

More information about the different types of data which each provider supports, please see the following link to our Help Guide: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...y_provider.htm

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

from the link above no data for stocks options

[NinjaTrader_PatrickG]

That's correct - regardless of the instrument you wish to view, you would need historical tick data and more specifically 'bid/ask stamped tick data' for most Order Flow tools to function.

I'd like to also clarify what Marco said. With the most recent update to NinjaTrader 8 (8.0.20.1) options on stocks are now supported for Kinetick and Interactive Brokers. This functionality is in beta and is therefore not yet listed in the link above.

i am testing the option chain whit demo IB account.how do i send option contract to the chart?
and is there any way to get free trial to test ninja 8 to make sure its the right one ?

[NinjaTrader_PatrickG]

You would need to link it to an Options Chain window. The process is identical to how window linking is explained for order entry here:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/index.html?submitting_orders_option_chain.htm#HowtolinktheOptionChaintoanorderentrywindow

I am not sure what free trial you're looking for - NinjaTrader is free unless you want to place live trades. A license key is not required to use any of the features we've been discussing.
