Custom Instrument and Data

[fiddich]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to access a futures product that Continuum doesn't provide data for and Ninjatrader doesn't have an instrument for.

If I connect to and get the live data from Interactive Brokers, can I create a custom instrument in NT and then receive DOM and chart data for this product?

Thanks.

Hello fiddich,

Thank you very much for your post.

You can indeed chart and trade any instrument any connected provider supports, even if it is not by default added in NinjaTrader Desktop.

To add an instrument, please click on Tools > Instruments, before clicking on 'add' and enter the required information.

Some additional information on adding an instrument may also be found in our HelpGuide below:

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions about this!
