i was just wondering if anyone knows if itīs possible to import a ticker from yahoo finance to ninja (and how). there is a yahoo connection but only a few tickers are included. it would be awesome if i somehow could import the swedish omxs30 index even if it is just eod data...
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
And it's my bet it will be at least another 89 days before a final release is publicly available to the masses. And even then, will you want to switch to it until all the bugs have been worked out?
Fortunately Yahoo DOES stream indices, only the process is a bit more complicated.
All indices from Yahoo start with ^ symbol.
Once you know what is a ticker symbol for the index on the Yahoo website - in your case it is: ^OMX you need to add this symbol to instruments list.
But the only way you can enter symbol starting with "^" to NT instrument manager is by using "on-the-fly" method. Here is how:
1. Open new Dynamic SuperDOM (or static if you have one)
2. Type the symbol of the instrument (^OMX) into the instrument field
3. Press Enter on your keyboard. This adds the instrument to your master list in the Instrument Manager, it is call on-the-fly.
4. Now you can get a data by typing ^OMX in your chart instrument field or you can add it to any of the instruments lists just like with every other instrument.
Attached is screenshot of ^OMX data from Yahoo website and my NT6.5 (Yahoo feed)
itīs in the middle of the night here and i have to get up for work in a couple of hours but i just canīt turn the computer off now that iīve got omx in nt...
The "on-the-fly" method is very helpful not only with instruments with "^" in name but also with other non-standard characters (e.g. "'-") not accepted by NinjaTrader in the instrument name field otherwise.
, as I would probably get the same answer
