Incorrect. You can use any NinjaTrader version free or paid with Kinetick. There are several advantage in using Kinetick (over IQFeed) for NinjaTrader.
- Free EOD data
- More effiecient since the NinjaTrader Kinetick adapter connects directly to the IQFeed servers vs NinjaTrader IQFeed adapter which uses the IQFeed API (additional layer of code)
- As you pointed out, less expensive
- Kinetick supports all NinjaTrader supported brokers for the CME Waiver program where IQFeed does not
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
The CME waiver is available for who have an account with a broker that has subscribed to it and that use a software that support IQfeed and allow live trading, is your broker that has to enable you it with DTN.
Yes, it only works with the paid version of ninjatrader (also works with the 'free' broker-supplied version where you pay for it per trade such as Mirus provides). The reason given is that in order to provide the waiver, the CME wants to make sure you're using a software that has been approved as being able to place live orders. Unfortunately other dealer-bundled platforms like R-trader and X-trader do not seem to be on the CMEs list of approved software yet.
It might be worth it to open up a separate account with a broker like Mirus who offers the 'free' ninjatrader, just so you can get the fee waiver. You don't necessarily have to do all your trading through this account.
@GoldStandard, I think that with X-Trader or others that use proprietary data and don't support IQFeed will be not allowed, anyway is your broker that has to declare to DTN that you are trading with a platform that support IQfeed.

I'm getting live data, so i think the symbol is correct. I'm just not getting the historical data. Are you getting historical data from rithmic in sierra charts for DX?
