[Kspot]

Strategy Analyzer won't download data from FXCM or Kinetick. I have tried with different date ranges and tick sizes. I cant get historical data past like three days. Same goes for charts that I load. Please help.

Hello Kspot,

Unfortunately historical tick/minute data is only supported for 2-3 days with FXCM. This is a known limitation at this time.

The free Kinetick EOD connection only supports historical daily data and no historical tick or minute data.

Please 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.

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.

Ok, got it, I didn't realize, I was previously using IB and assumed all brokers provided the data. Thanks for the info.
