NT: Add A Market Data Feed To NinjaTrader

Since NinjaTrader is not a broker, it does not provide its own data feed. Data feeds give live and historical price data for trading products. You must have an active data feed connection in order to use the Apex strategy.

For those who want to trade a sim account, you have two options. If you want to trade using a daily or longer time frame, you have access to free end-of-day data through Kinetick. This data feed connection comes preinstalled with Ninja and you do not have to manually add it. You can skip the rest of this tutuorial. If you want to do any sort of intraday trading, you will need a live data feed with historical data. You have two options. The first option is to fund an account with a participating broker so that you can get the data for free. This option is recommended if you plan to switch to live trading later. You open an account with the broker you would like to trade with in the future, you use their data feed while trading on a sim account, then you switch to live trading when you are ready. The data will be fed through the connection with that broker. The broker connection setup is in the previous tutorial. The second option is to sign up for an account with a dedicated data feed provider. If you will be trading Nadex Markets, this is the option for you. A list of dedicated data feed providers can be found below. Kinetick is the preferred market data provider.

If you want to trade live on a brokerage account with a NinjaTrader connection, your broker will provide you the necessary data feed. All brokers provide a live feed and most provide a historical feed as well. If no historical feed is provided, you will also have to sign up with a dedicated data feed provider. A list of dedicated data feed providers can be found below. Kinetick is the preferred market data provider.

RISK DISCLOSURE:

Futures and Forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE:

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points, which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program, which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
