integration with Ameritrade/Izone history API

[marcjohnson]

Hello and thanks for a great product.

I have an Ameritrade account. It has intrinsic PriceHistory capability, and I am requesting that Ninjatrader be enhanced to use said history capability.

Please tell the Ninjatrader software developers to check out the Ameritrade API/SDK - specifically the simple PriceHistory service which provides the ability to retrieve historical intraday and end of day quote data consolidated in OHLC format. Some history goes back to 1993.

Other products use Ameritrade's historical data capability.

This is a major impediment to my backtesting, and Ameritrade is best-of-breed (like Ninjatrader), so we would appreciate getting Ameritrade history integration bumped up on the feature priority list.

Thanks a lot,
Marc

Hi marcjohnson,



Thank you for the suggestion and interest in NinjaTrader.


I will forward this to our development team for future consideration.

Marc,

NinjaTrader does retrieve historical data from TDA, what experience have you had that would lead you to believe other wise?

Thanks
