S&P cash price

[Pirelli]

Hello, I am using ninja 7. I wondered if anyone can tell me if it's possible to get a live cash market price to run alongside the normal data feed.
I think in ninja 8 you have to type ^SP500. This doesn't seem to work in 7.

I don't mean ES futures or MES contract prices which are part of the data bundle. I'm looking for the cash market.

Does anyone know what to type in ninja 7 to get this working?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Pirelli, thanks for your question.

It is the same in NinjaTrader 7. I was able to pull up "^SP500" in NinjaTrader 7 on Kinetick. What data feed are you connected to? Can you confirm the Inicies you need are enabled/supported on the data feed you are using?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for the reply Chris, appreciate your help.

I'm using the ninjatrader continuum data feed. Will it work with that? When i have typed in ^SP500 the chart just remains blank

Hi, thanks for your reply.

All of the supported indices are listed here for NinjaTrader Continuum:

https://ninjatrader.com/CQGSupportedIndexes

Its possible the index is not enabled on your account. The NinjaTrader brokerage will be able to add the index enablement you need. I recommend sending an email to brokeragesupport at ninjatrader.com to request this change.

I look forward to hearing of your results.

thanks for the reply Chris. I will email support and ask them. I'm sure you are right - sounds like it isn't enabled.
I will let you know the outcome.
