Hello n4nares,

NinjaTrader does not have any Indian stocks listed by default, so you will need to create custom instruments in the Instrument Manager. Please see the following example as per the UNITECH.NS and create additional Indian stocks in the same way.

Please go to Control Center-->Tools-->Instrument Manager and click the New button next to the Edit button.

Setup the Definition and Misc tabs as the attached screenshots. You only see the Nse exchange enabled, however I have the Default exchange enabled as well.

Click OK once finished and add the newly created instrument to an instrument list.

Subsequently, create a new daily chart and select the UNITECH stock from your instrument list in the Data Series menu.

I have created my instruments in a new instrument named 'india', but the chart is not diaplaying anything. Should I create under 'default' instrument list or there are some other issues?

What interval do you have selected? Please note that the Yahoo connection only supports historical daily data.

Are you able to load data if you test the UNITECH stock as per the screenshots of my previous post?

[n4nares]

I have done as per the screenshots, but the chart is not displaying anything.

[n4nares]

where to look for the interval settings?

I have now downloaded the historical data with intervals as 'daily', still chart is not displaying anything.

It works fine when I test it on my end.

Do you see the historical daily data at Control Center-->Tools-->Historical Data Manager-->Edit-tab?

Does it make a difference if you right click in the chart and you select 'Reload All Historical Data'? If not, please disconnect Yahoo and go to Control Center-->Tools-->Options-->Data-tab, click Repair DB. Restart NinjaTrader and check if UNITECH daily chart loads the requested data.

If the issue remains, please exit NinjaTrader and go to C:\-->Users-->*Windows user account*-->Documents-->NinjaTrader 7-->db and delete the cache folder. Start NinjaTrader and check again.

What kind of connection settings need to be provided?

[n4nares]

I have changed the location at the time of downloading ninjatrader, does that make any issue?

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

You need to be connected to Yahoo when you create the chart. You can find a Yahoo connection guide at the link below.

Once you created the connection, you can connect at Control Center-->File-->Connect.

[n4nares]

I have created yahoo connection, should I download historical data now?

[n4nares]

yes, it worked, thanks

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

Once you are connected to Yahoo (the lower left corner of the Control Center should state 'Connected' in green), please create a new daily chart for the UNITECH and check if the requested data is loaded.
