Trading Australian Stocks?

[paulchow2k]

I am using IB as my data provider. I can create a watchlist but it seems that much of the data such as ask bid will not show up unless there has been a trade today. Is this correct? Also a number of stocks I track are to 3 decimals. Would this be a reason they do not show any data up in Market analyser. One instrument WRK I can not get any data for no matter what I do, even though it is on my IB watch screen.

WRK only has 7 trades today but ninjatrader will need data from IB. So these are the following things you need to enable in IB:

1. ASX Exchange Feed $38.5 per month
2. Market Hours [IB's Bid/Ask will disappear once the ASX market is closed.
3. 2 Decimals limit on stocks so [Any stocks > $2 is fine]

But saying that I've no issues with any ASX securities on NT 6.5 including minute chart or it on Market Analyzer.

Hint: you can also use Yahoo as your historical datafeed. For Day charts and that works fine for me too

Hi guys,
Can you please let me know if NT7 allows us to have equities with more than 2 decimal places?

Most equities under $2 here in Australia have more than 2 decimal places and thanks to the latest Global financial crisis, quite a number of our stocks are reaching or have gone below $2!

Yes, with NT7 you can configure the TickSize value for stocks (to e.g. 0.001).

Options for ASX Stock Data?

Hi All,

Can anyone comment on options for feeding ASX EOD data into Ninja?

There is the Yahoo feed, but I'm having trouble with it.
I use Barchart for other EOD data, but unfortunately they don't seem to provide ASX data.
IQ Feed doesn't seem to provide ASX data
eSignal - probably way too expensive.

Are there any other options?

Thanks a lot!

Yes,
you can use interactive brokers. Works fine and IB's Data subscription is only $40 per month.
