Âżis it possible to get live data for ninjatrader without having an account?

February 17th, 2018, 11:19 AM

i have been trying to convert a number of indicators and strategies into ninjatrader 8. i would now like to have live data to run some tests with them but i'm not interested in opening an account yet.

żdoes anyone know if there are any data providers i could get for a couple of months only, even without having a trading account? in case there are, żwhich one would be the most recommendable?

thanks.

You can get live data for 14 days initially with ninjatrader just for expressing interest in their platform. https://ninjatrader.com/FreeLiveData

Once the 14 days expire, you can get an additional 14 days. (They will send you a link to your email.) So this should get you 1 month to test for free with no obligation or commitment.

good luck!

iantg,

thanks. i do know about nt's free data offer, but i have already used it by now and would rather pay a data provider for a couple of months of service so that my tests are more credible.

@maggtrading
If you only want the data for Ninjatrader don't use DTN IQFeed, use Kinetick ( https://kinetick.com/ ).
Kinetick is the same DTN IQFeed data, from the same company, but a relabeled version with discounted monthly costs as it only works with the Ninjatrader platform.
(Unlike DTN data which can be run through multiple platforms at the same time fed by the IQFeed client software).

thanks to all.

kinetick seems like the best option, so i will be using their service temporarily.

i contacted the people at kinetick and got a quote today:

Code

To receive real time data for the listed instruments you will need the subscriptions below.

Basic Service $60
NYMEX $91 (for CL, NG)
CME $91 (for HO, RB, NQ)
International Real Time Exchange $30
Eurex $23 (for FDAX, FESX, FDXM)

295 usd per month, when i pay 20 usd per month for a bundle of futures data with tradestation and was looking for something the same price range. it's a good thing that i speak as many languages as i do as i have a lot of options to swear at this kind of nonsense. jaja.

i will have to check out the prices with iqfeed and barcharts, as they are the only other data providers that work with nt.

thanks to all.

Hi, no idea why they want to charge you the "Professional Fees", I guess you are a retail-trader.

NT also works with Rithmic-data
