Historical Data from IB

[NinjaTrader_Kyle]

Hi Lawdawg,

Thank you for your reply.

Sorry, yes I meant IB support.

I have edited my previous reply for accuracy.

Thanks. Just to confirm, you also indicated yesterday that you could not download the data in question (SI and GC for May-June 2008). Were you attempting to download from IB as well?

Hi Lawdawg,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, that is correct.

[Lawdawg]

Thanks. I have contacted IB and will update this thread when I get a reply.

I contacted IB and for some of the past futures contracts, they had storage/data issues and do not have that historical data. Do you know of any data providers who sell historical data on a contract-by-contract basis (i.e. without being a trading customer). IB recommended eSignal but they do not sell data. Thanks.

Hi Lawdawg,

Thank you for your reply.

Sorry, I am not aware of any data vendors who sell data on a contract-by-contract basis. Perhaps other support forum users could be of help?

[Lawdawg]

No problem. Do you know what format the data needs to be in to be uploaded into NinjaTrader if it comes from another source (i.e. not IB or another datalink)?

Hi Lawdawg,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, you can find more information about the required format at the following link to our Help Guide: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...V6/Import.html

This is the best historical data that I could find:

The prices are fair and the support is very good - everything is explained in detail. This was recommended elsewhere on this site and I am glad I found it.
