From what I've read it's at least known to be possible to get real-time data for E7 using Zen-Fire on NinjaTrader, and I've contacted Zen-Fire support themselves and they've explicitly told me that if you switch the exchange to Globex, you can get E7 on NinjaTrader through Zen-Fire. However, none of this works. And my broker says I can trade "FX" and it should work the same, but I don't get "FX" either. So my question is: has anyone gotten E7 data using Zen-Fire on NinjaTrader? If so, what'd you do?

They prob meant spot forex, which is a different data feed. I don't know why you would want to trade the e7, there no volume, and its not tradable.

zwentz - I see it's on the Zen-Fire margin list so should be available, but I cannot chart it, whereas it charts as normal in TradeStation.

Michael's right about low volume : not good for fast charts, although I don't see why you couldn't swing trade it (I did a few years back when I only had the margin for 1 x 6E but wanted 2 lots). But for $6.25/tick you're better off with 6B / GBP.

I'm agree 6B is a real better instrument, try it!
Another could be YM (e-mini dow) $5/tick.
Dont waste your time an money with mini or micro FX, at the moment they are too illiquid.

Take your Pips, go out and Live.
