Can I pull up stock charts on my Ninja Trader platform? How?

[patpat]

I have always traded futures so I never had the need to look up a stock chart. But now I do. But I went to Ninja Trader to search for the symbol, and I can't figure out how to pull up a chart of that symbol. The symbol is SLV. My broker is AMP which is a futures broker. Is this why I can't pull up a stock chart on Ninja Trader? I know this is a really dumb question, sorry. It's not technically a stock, it's an ETF. Thanks.

Hello patpat,

Thank you for your note.

Yes, if you are only connected to a provider that provides futures data then you would be unable to download equities data. However, you may connect to Kinetick (End of Day Free) connection built into the platform and then you can download daily data for the SLV. Simply left click on your chart window and type SLV then press Enter. For real time equities data, you'd have to connect to a provider with which you have subscribed to this data such as a Kinetick live account.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
