How can NT be used for trading "cryptos"?

[demarcog]

Hi NT Support,

First of all want to thank you all for the World Class and certainly Best in Class level of support that I've ever experienced in 30 years. I'm actually blown away at the level of competence, willingness to help and extensive effort put forth by everyone I deal with at NT, not to mention the best trading platform ever. Truly amazing, and for those that I hear vague gripe about occasionally I can only say you have no idea relative to everyone else how good these people are at NT.

Enough of that. I reading another post:

I notices symbols/exchanges that I'm totally unfamiliar with. Myself like many others using NT are only familiar with the traditional Futures contracts, FX pairs, and Equity/ETF symbols.

We all see the craziness on the news regarding bitcoin et al, and I only know of the BTC symbol root for the CME contract.

My main question is what other crypto and are there any videos or other references to get started trading cryptos on NT?

Apparently people are either trading the same instrument on different exchanges looking for arbitrage type trades or trading the underlying instruments.

What instruments/exchanges are available via NT to participate in the crypto market?

Thank You,

Glen

Hello demarcog,

At this time NinjaTrader does not yet have support for trading cryptocurrency.

There is a coinbase adapter, and this allows data to be loaded for crypto but at this time is not developed to the point that you can trade.

Hello glen,

I'm familiar with Bitmex but I am not familiar with BITFINEX.

I also do not recognize the symbol.

I recommend inquiring with the community member that has posted that.
