Very Disappointed......

[ellobo]

I came across an advertisement declaring that we could use FREE Ninjtrader as a FREE platform. Paying version would be when actually trading, which makes sense...

I have installed the 64bit version 7, and the prg is asking me a key to get it.

Typing whatever I finally got in, but this platform turns to be for "simulation" only?? ??

NASDAQ shows only 100 $stocks, it is not possible to enter / search my own $stock.

Can anyone correct me

Thank you.

It doesn't say "only based on 100 NASDAQ $stocks".

Hello ellobo,

Yes, the free version is limited to trade in simulation (sim101) only. If you like to trade an external account whether live or demo, a subscription (live license key) is required.


NinjaTrader comes pre-loaded with the most commonly traded instruments however, you may find the need to add an additional instrument. Please follow the instructions below to add an instrument in the Instrument Manager.

•From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools > Instrument Manager
•Press the "New" button
•Enter in instrument specific information and select the appropriate exchange (add Default exchange for equities in addition to the actual exchange)
•Fill in any relevant information under the "Misc" tab such as symbol mapping for your target connectivity provider
•Press the "OK" button

The instrument is now added to the master instrument list. Please follow the instructions below if you want to add this instrument to an instrument list.

•Select the instrument list you wish to add the instrument to via the "Instrument lists" drop down list in the upper left hand corner
•Select the exchange (Default recommend for equities) as this will route orders to your broker smart routing system
•Select the appropriate expiration date if this is a futures instrument
•Press the "<" button to add the instrument to the list

You are now complete and can press the "OK" button.

Thank you for the prompt answer. Sorry but it didn't work. Fisrt step went ok, but I didn't find "Instrument list" left corner, or anywhere else.
