Get Option Data from TD Ameritrade account

[luxurious_04]

Is there a way to grab or get the Options data from a connected TD Ameritrade account in NinjaTrader?

Hi luxurious, thanks for your post.

There is no support for the NinjaScript option chain currently. I will add a vote to the open feature request: SFT-4404. This id can be tracked through the release notes here:

I'm confused, how does NT say it only supports options and stocks with TD but then theres no option chain?
Is it possible to use a strategy to trade options with TD? No? thanks

Hi ezrollin, there is an option chain window through Tools>Option Chain. Trading options through a strategy is not supported by yet.

Kind regards,

What is TD Ameritrade? I would like to learn more about it. I traded with the company only a few months ago. My mentor advised me on the wyckoff method.
