Hi NinjaTrader_RILEYS

Australia and pretty much most of South East Asian countries rely on free Yahoo data download to NT7 end of day trading; (when is night on your hemisphere).

My last data is from May 2017. We need the data for forward optimization of our developing strategies.

PLEASE enable the connection. We know of other offered software that have achieved the code for the connection to Yahoo. PLEASE, we don't want to abandon years of development.

Thankyou

Tony

ASX data from Yahoo

Is it just a matter of updating some urls and reformatting parameters get ASX data from Yahoo once again?

I could not comment on the difficulty of implementing any necessary changes required for NinjaTrader to receive data from Yahoo, however, I will add your vote to the feature request. I appreciate your feedback and I'll make sure to include that in my message to the Development Team.

Feature requests are implemented based on many factors including feasibility and user demand. Please keep an eye on the release notes for any updates on this feature request:

Success!

The data is still available and updating existing code was quick and painless. I've posted details in the other thread .

[NinjaTrader_PatrickG]

NinjaTrader used a real API and therefore the fix is not as simple as updating URLs. The entire connection technology for Yahoo must be redesigned.

Thanks for providing the information you discovered, I've passed this onto the Development Team.

Please add my vote. Can download the data from yahoo into Excel, surely there is a work around here to get the data into NT.
