Setting up stock data from the start

[flips87]

Hello,

I've recently downloaded Ninjatrader and would like to get setup on recording data from certain stocks, so that I can simulate trading.

I have looked at a few tutorial videos and many forum posts, but I can't make heads or tails of what I need to do, or if this is even possible on a free account.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

When you state that you will be using a "free account", is this the Demo account that you signed up for?

If so, then unfortunately no you will not be able to record data or get live data for Stocks. Only Futures instruments and some Index data will be provide with the Demo account.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.
