NinjaTrader Index Symbols

[aligator]

Dear Support,

Is it possible to trade Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) on Ninja Platform? What is (are) the brokerage symbols for trading BCOM?

Thanks.

Hello aligator,

Thanks for your post.

While it's not a built in instrument, you could certainly manually add it to your Instrument Manager:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/manage_database.htm

Whether you actually can get data for it would depend on your broker/data provider, however. I'd suggest speaking to your data provider to ensure you're enabled for the necessary data.

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