Can I access international symbol using Yahoo data feed?

[vhanded]

Hi,

I am currently using free version of NT, and added Yahoo as my data provider. I have no problem accessing US Equity symbols like APPL, MSFT, TSLA, but for international symbol, like ^KLSE (FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI), it is not possible.

How should I do it?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

When attempting to load data for ^KLSE in the chart does an error appear on screen? If so, what does the error report?

This is the steps:

1. Create a new Chart, and load with a default instrument, like APPL.
2. On the chart, type ^KLSE. Error: "Invalid Instrument Name"
3. On the chart, type KLSE. Error: "Error on loading chart data for KLSE Default: Failed to retrieve data from YAHOO"

Hello vhanded,

Thanks for your reply.

Indexs are not supported with Yahoo in NinjaTrader. Some can be custom mapped however. I attempted to see if this symbol could by custom mapped however I am unable to access it in NinjaTrader.

I see. How about this ETF?

This is basically the ETF for this index.

Hello poloabel,
Thanks for your reply.
It doesn't work because it isn't supported. I have attempted to custom map it but it is not possible. I will send a feature request to add support.
