TD Ameritrade Connection and Price Data

TicksBandit,

Thanks for your post.

1. This does not appear to be a native instrument to the platform. Should you wish to add an instrument to your database that is not located in the preloaded lists, please follow these steps:

- Navigate to the Control Center > Tools > Instruments window.
- Left-click on the ‘add’ button that appears near the lower right-hand corner of the Instruments window.
- Enter instrument-specific symbol mapping, exchanges, and other information on the Instrument editor that appears. This information will largely depend on your broker or data feed provider’s specific settings regarding the instrument in question.
- Left-click the OK button once each field has been filled out with correct information.

The new instrument has now been created in your database.

2. That is correct. The platform will use whichever Kinetick connection you are connected to when requesting the data. More information at the below link:

I tried your suggestion and got an unhandled exception that said Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index

If you are unfamiliar with what the index is... here is a page that shows it: https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/dxy

Here is another page on it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Dollar_Index

It's provided by ICE but it's not a futures contract... just an index.

TicksBandit, how did you establish the connection with TOS to begin with? Could you provide some details please?
