TD Ameritrade Futures Data Not Real Time?

[pyrotrader]

I connected Ninja Trader to my TD Ameritrade account but I'm not getting real time intraday quotes. I select 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, etc. All charts are blank. It does same I'm connected in the bottom left corner and I'm able to get a Daily chart, Weekly chart and Monthly chart to load. I'm using the 32 bit Ninja Trader version as required for TD Ameritrade. I'm looking at the ticker ES.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

Hello Pyrotrader,

Thanks for the post.

TD Ameritrade only provides Equities data to us, Futures data is not provided. That's the reason why your charts stay blank.

Please see here for a complete overview of what TD Ameritrade and all our other supported providers provide to us:

Check under the section 'Understanding the data provided by your connectivity provider'

Hi,
So how do we trade Futures contract using TD Ameritrade?
Third party data feed?

Thanks!

Futures trading is not supported through TD Ameritrade. You will have to select another provider.

Futures trading via Ameritrade

Hi! Are you saying that one cannot trade Futures at all via Ameritrade?

[NinjaTrader_Kyle]

Hello mpuri,

Unfortunately, that is correct - futures trading is not available when using the TD Ameritrade connection within NinjaTrader. As it stands this connection would allow for equity trading only.

Thanks Kyle! I just got a lifetime license for NT for Ameritrade. Do you know if I can change it to another broker without a cost?

Hello,

I'm happy to report that the key can be changed at any time without cost. Simply contact us at PlatformSales [AT] NinjaTrader [DOT] com with your license key (Help > License Key) and the name of the provider you would like to move to.

Wonderful, thanks Kyle!
