Newbie Sim101 Problems
What am I doing wrong? I just set up NT using Yahoo's 15 min delay data feed for stocks. I get charts and market analyzer functions OK. When I place a simple Market BUY order in stock chart or Control Center for account Sim101, A buy order line appears in CC orders, and order state is green "Working" but it never fills! What haven't I set up correctly?Tags: None

The Yahoo data feed is 15-minutes behind real time but gives me "continuous" data on every instrument every 5 seconds. I'm watching a half-dozen 1-minute charts updating right now with no problem. I set the "request interval" to 1-second but in reality ticks are coming into each instrument about every 5 seconds. I thought the simulator wouldn't know the difference (a tick is a tick) so would simply take the next tick as a market buy price. Does the tick interval have to be shorter?

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
To reiterate Dierk below, Yahoo isn't set up for a real time data feed. The only data that is deemed reliable through Yahoo is daily historical data.
Here is a list of the data feed providers NinjaTrader supports and what data they provide:

I think I figured it out! Only certain stocks show Bid/Ask prices and the others only show Last price. If Bid/Ask was given, like for AAPL, then Sim101 executed the trade, otherwise NO. I don't want to spend $$ on a live data feed until I learn the details of using NT features and test a few strategies, but apparently this will only work on stocks where Yahoo gives Bid/Ask. Thanks to all for suggestions!
