Crude Oil TD Ameritrade Symbol

[vsn_103]

Hello,
I'm connected with TD Ameritrade, but when I try to plot Crude Oil using TOS Symbol /CL "Invalid instrument name" pops up.

What is the symbol for Crude oil?

Thank you

Hello,

Thanks for the post.

TD Ameritrade doesn't provide any Futures data to us so it's not possible to bring up the CL while being connected to them. They do provide Equities data to us.

If you want to bring up the CL you would need a provider that provides Futures data.

Please see here for an overview of our supported providers and what they provide to us:

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