How can I get Option Chain data in the demo version of NT ?

Hello mark555,

Thank you very much for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

As the NinjaTrader brokerage does not provide Options data, you would unfortunately not receive this through the demo.

To receive Options data you would have to connect to a provider that supports trading Options. At the current time, this would be Interactive Brokers (Options for Equities and Futures), as well as TD Ameritrade (Equities only).

For a detailed list, please see below:

Please don't hesitate to let me know, should you have any further questions!

Thanks for our response. The unfortunate thing about that is ...
Interactive Brokers only provides Demo/Paper Trading for accounts approved for Futures and Options trading.
Any suggestions on alternatives for Paper trading Futures Options?

Hello mark555,

Thank you very much for your reply.

One option would be to sign up for a datafeed provider that supports Options data, e.g. Kinetick.

You could then use the locally-simulated Sim101 account while trading on the data you receive.

Further information about Kinetick may be found on their publicly available website below:
