Ninja Broker Partners - ? data feed

[gdavis74]

I'm doing research to open an account with a broker who will provide a data feed for Ninja Trader software. The goal is to find a broker that will provide a free data feed or minimal cost data feed.

Does TD Ameritrade offer a data feed that works with NT and if not, do any of the other brokerage partners?

Thanks

Hello gdavis74,

All broker technology connections including TD Ameritrade will provide you real-time data and most provide historical data as well. See the link below under 'Understanding the data provided by your connectivity provider' which will list all supported data feed providers and what data they support.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/historical_data.htm

The matrix will list 'data feeds only' such as Kinetick and DTN IQFeed, but it lists broker technologies as well such as Zen-Fire and CQG.

The broker technologies can only be used if you have an account at a supported broker partner that uses the broker technology in question. They will provide data in NinjaTrader and will allow you to trade your account at your broker.

The 'data feeds only' will only provide data in NinjaTrader. You will need to have a subscription with one of these data providers to obtain login information, which you enter upon creating a connection.

As per NinjaTrader 7, our preferred market data service is Kinetick. Real time service starts as low as $50 per month. If you trade CME Globex products, you can have these exchange fees waived if you have a qualified brokerage account. This service is only available for NinjaTrader 7. Please visit www.kinetick.com for more detailed information.

Thanks Jason,

Darn, I remember looking at that Help section but it was early on. I'm new to Ninja Trader but coming up to speed!

The software is awesome!

Thanks
