Options & td ameritrade

Where do I look to see how to import an Options String into NT and have the option be part of the instrument list?


TIA

Hello TIA,

Thank you for your note.

To confirm you are wanting to create an instrument that is an option, is this correct?

Unfortunately, NinjaTrader does not support options.

NinjaTrader supports futures, equities, forex, and indexes.

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.

Please let me know if you are not referring to creating a new instrument and you are referring to something else instead.

Hi Chelsie,

Thanks for the response. Take a look at this YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYRgd6avBWo

It similar to what I'm looking to do.

Hello dmking,

This would depend on what this video is demonstrating.

It appears that this user has methods that are not supported by NinjaTrader to view unsupported instruments. Have you reach out the creator of this video for details about what this user is doing?

Thanks Chelsea,

No, I have not since the post was a little while ago. I use ThinkorSwim for options stuff and it uses a ton of RAM, I thought that I might be able to use Ninja to help out.
