Range-Based Charts with TD Amertrade Data

[caveat_lector]

Hi, I am currently evaluating the demo version of NT8 using a TD Ameritrade data-feed. Time-based equity charts display fine, but I haven't been able to create a range-based bar chart. Should it be possible to create range-based equity charts with the demo version and a TD Ameritrade data-feed?

Live data should work.

Historical - probably no chance. Historical Data isn't tick but minute. Which is probably the problem you are seeing

Thanks for your quick reply sledge. I hadn't thought about that, but your explanation makes sense. I will try again when the markets open next week.

Hello caveat_lector,

sledge is correct. NinjaTrader does not support historical tick data with TD Ameritrade. Any bar type that is not minute, day, week, month, year will be created using historical tick data. This includes range and renko bars.

Below is a public link to the NinjaTrader 8 help guide on Data by provider which shows the supported connection technologies and the types of data these connections support.
