Not sure I follow: NT comes with the correct barchart mappings for TRIN and TICK (which are $TRIN and $TICK). I just tested on an fresh NT default database and could pull data no problem.

Please make sure:
- your are on latest 6.5.1000.2
- you use the TICK and TRIN instruments provided by NT default (no need to add custom instruments)
- Tools->Options->Misc->Reset Instruments

I've also been trying to get a TICK chart for Ninja. I've done everything listed in this thread (signed up for Barchart through Ninja, updated Ninja to the latest version, reset my instruments list).

Now I can load up a chart of TICK, but I only get a small amount of incorrect historical data, and the chart doesn't update in realtime. Here is a screenshot to illustrate the problem:

(Note that I live in the UK, so the times on my chart are GMT which is 5 hours ahead of New York)

Hi fifty2aces:

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, I cannot re-produce.

I connected to Barchart and opened a 1 minute chart of the $Tick and it updates in real time. See attached.

Click here for possible reasons why your charts may not be updating.

Ryan, your chart is still incorrect - TICK should be ranging between around -600 and +1000 see here:

Hi fifty2aces:

Please click on the link below to quotes of the NYSE Tick from Barchart.com's website.

The data in NinjaTrader is correct and in their range between approx. 95 - 110 for the Tick.

Perhaps, it is a different index that you seek with a range between - 600 and 1000.

Pretty strange - it seems Ninja is fine, and Barchart's data is wrong - I've never seen anyone quote TICK values like those.

Thanks for your help, I'll get in touch with barchart to figure out the problem.

Hi fifty2aces:

I will consult with my colleague at barchart.com as well and keep you informed.

Thanks!
