Hello tinkerz,

Thank you for your post.

Who are you connect to for data? Do they offer futures data?

Click here for more information on the varying levels of data of our supported connectivity providers

If you disconnect from your current connection and then select the Kinetick EOD Free connection, can you view Futures instruments?

Ok I see when I connect to kinetic I get futures data.

Add("BH", PeriodType.Day,1);// Heating Oil

I get an error message

The indicator 'name' has called the add method with an invalid instrument, Either "BH" ..Not in the instrument manager or not set up on the exchange

I am just after free end of day data

So I assume the data is there, what am i getting wrong

When I try to add

Hello,

If this is a futures instrument, please make sure to specify the contract month in your Add method

Add("BH 07-11", PeriodType.Day,1);//  Heating Oil

More information on the correct signatures when using the Add() method can be found below:
