CL Historical Data

[CheckM8t]

CQG is my provider. I want to download/import (not sure of the difference) CL historical data for at least 2 years and disply 1 minute bars on a chart. What are the steps? I've been looking in the help guided but it's still unclear.

Thanks in advance.

Hi CheckM8t,

Thank you for your post.

Since CQG provides historical data you can connect to the provider and then create a chart for 2 years worth of data within the Data Settings in the Data Series window. More information at:

The extent of the data that is available would be loaded in the chart, but it may not match the 2 years you are seeking, and so it would be possible to supplement historical data in NinjaTrader from a data-only provider such as Kinetick, which includes 120 days of tick data, 2 years of minute data and 10 years of daily, and for more information please see the following link:
