Also, I just want to confirm that I can pre-script trades in pre-market and after-market with NT8 and TD. TD only allows limit orders outside of normal hours, so I want to confirm that I can have the script get current prices and place limit orders at those prices outside of regular market hours. Can I do this and use local OCO simulation with TD, in order to continue profit targets and stop-losses into extended hours?

Simulated Stock Trades with TD Ameritrade?
Hi, I've reached the limit of the automation that TD's Thinkorswim can do with studies, and I'm looking at NT8 as a way to pre-script stock trades with TD. Ideally, I'd like to make sure that I'm able to do what I want to do with NT8 and TD before committing to a live license. Is there a way to simulate trades with intra-day data for US stocks, before I buy?

Okay, so I was able to connect to TD as a data source for my simulation account. I didn't think I'd be able to connect to them without a live license. So it looks like that solves that. I'm still wondering about the types of orders I can place in extended hours. Does it have to be a limit order, as with Thinkorswim, and do I have to simulate OCO locally?
Edit: Connecting brought up a new question: When I connected, the message said that real-time TD data is "snapshot based." Can anyone explain what this means and what impact it has, relative to "non-snapshot based" data?Last edited by Seeker of Alpha; 07-04-2020, 01:25 PM.

Hello Seeker of Alpha,
Thank you for your post.
Glad to hear you were able to connect -- a live key will only be needed when ready for live trading. Our sales team can assist with key options or questions (PlatformSales[AT]NinjaTrader[DOT]com.
Local OCO is not rquired. TD would be able to be verify the orders allowed during extended hours.
Please let me know if I may assist further.Eric B.NinjaTrader Customer Service
