We have negotiated 2 discounts available for the APEX members with IQ Feed (Both include basic forex for free)

1 – Month-to-month plan iQFeed with real-time Forex for $68 (down from $93) – works out to a $25/month or about a 27% discount.  What they are doing here is waiving the $25/month Forex Fee.

2 – Annual prepay plan for $652.80 (equivalent to $54.40/month) – saves $463.20 or 41% off of the full $93/month rate.  What they are doing here is applying an additional 20% discount to the $68 X 12 rate while still including Forex at no additional charge.

 

Alternative Forex Data feed – Free

GOOD NEWS – fxcm data with a small change on the connection setting is now FAST!

If you don’t want to pay for IQ feed, don’t want BMI, are an elite member and don’t want to use the choppy market warning indicator then you can use FXCM:

Click here: NinjaTrader Software for Advanced Charting & Market Analytics @ FXCM scroll to bottom fill out the form and check your email.

Make sure to check Use Ninja Trader servers for historical data ONLY on the fxcm connection SEE BELOW IMAGE

Steps: control panel on nt7 – tools – account connections – add – next – fxcm – name it FXCM (do not check connect on startup) – do check Use ninja trader servers for historical data – next – enter username – password – click demo – click next – click finish

The demo feed seems to be unlimited. I have had people say it expired ina month, 6 months, people on it over a year. Those who said it expired said they where able to renew it without problem. There is no offical policy I have on this but its free while its free.

NOTES: If your trading live futures you will need live key. This will limit the ability to use FXCM and AMP at the same time without leasing or buying a key or doing the below.

If your trading just nadex then use the key directly from ninjatrader and it will allow everything (ie amp/fxcm/iqfeed etc.. simultanous connections) but will not allow live trading. So yes you can connect to same at the same time if you use the key directly from ninjatrader.com. If your not sure go to ninjatrader.com click free demo fill in form check email and update your license key under help in the control panel.

You can also fund with I believe $250 or maybe even just $50 or $500 and get the data feed without having to worry about expiration. I will update this when i get confirmation.

Also this is a great deal if you want to trade forex ie at fxcm and futures at AMP. Then FXCM will give you a free dual broker key if you fund with $5k.

 

IMPORTANT: They will give you a ninjatrader key and download. If you already did step 3 above you don’t need to redownload NinjaTrader. Also USE THE KEY FROM NINJATRADER NOT THE ONE THEY SEND YOU. Until you are going to trade live futures/forex you don’t need the key they send you. The key sent to you will not let you use our automated strategy or connect to multiple data feeds (i.e. Futures and fx). In summary use the key sent to you directly by NinjaTrader for Ninjatrader activation. Use the username/password from them for Gain FX data

NOT SUGGESTED

You can also use gain data from ApexFutures (1 trial per email fill in form to get login id and password within 15 minutes of filling out form) Global Futures (1 free trial)  but the data is much slower and is not true ECN data. (The trial will work for 3 weeks – it won’t tell you when it stopped working you just have to request another trial).

Setup Guide For Gain: http://www.ninjatrader.com/ConnectionGuides/Gain-Connection-Guide.php

Fund an account to not have to request a trial over and over from Gain. We highly suggest you first try IQFeed it is much faster and has less issues try IQfeed and then you can try the gain feeds you will see what we mean.
