Yahoo Futures data

[FrankB]

Hi All, new to NT, and just connected to Yahoo datafeed. Now I want to see a chart of Soybean Oil Futures (BO), but when I add BO to the tools -> Instrument Manager, it does not add to the default 566 instruments.
What I did is: Master Instrument = BO , type Future, Rollover =1, and Misc Symbol Map under Yahoo I type BO . I also tried ^BO under symbol map, both seem not to work.
Any help is appreciated!
Many thanks,
Frank

Hello Frank,

Unfortunately, only historical end-of-day data for equities is supported with the Yahoo connection as per the connection guide below.

Thank you for the quick answer. One more question, I am subscribing to CSI End-of-day data for futures markets. Can I use this with NT?

Unfortunately not, please see the link below for all supported data feed providers.

Jason, is there a way to pull real time data from ninja that I can stream into an excel spreadsheet? Thanks David

Hi [email protected],

Thank you for your post.

That is not supported, as the best you would be able to do is take historical data by going to Tools-->Historical Data-->Export and then view the resulting .txt file in an Excel spreadsheet.
