Chart data only available per Day?

[keymaster]

Hi

I recently started to work with Ninjatrader. At the moment free data connections like Kinetick, Yahoo and FXCM.
I do not yet have a account with a Ninjatrader brocker as I want to test Ninjatrader before opening an account at a brocker.

When I want to analyse a chart, for example of the IBM stock, I only get the chart based per Day data. However, as I would like to develope Ninjascript strategys for daytrading I was wondering if it's possible to get historical data and charts based on per Minute or at least per 5 Minute data.

Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,

Thank you for your post.

NinjaTrader supports historical intraday data based on the real-time data provider, and to review the supported providers please see:

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

Of those providers any one that supports historical tick and minute data can offer intraday data for your testing.

In many cases data is provided by the broker, but independent of a broker you can trade in simulation for free with NinjaTrader by subscribing to a real-time feed. Kinetick is NinjaTrader's preferred market data provider, and for $55/mo you can receive this historical data for your testing. More information at: http://www.kinetick.com/features
