Hi shawnj,

Thank you for your post.

I have forwarded this suggestion to development for inclusion on the list of possible future enhancements.

What you could do also is subscribe to a data-only provider, such as Kinetick with NinjaTrader 7, that would enable you to use that data from a market data provider for historical data and supplement the real-time data you are currently receiving. More information at:

The problem is, I want to use Zen-fire as my main data feed. My understanding is we cannot feed one chart such as an HG chart with Kinetick and all my other charts with Zen-fire.

Hi shawnj,

Yes, that would be correct where you could not get historical data from Kinetick for only one instrument.

However, if you were to get all historical data from Kinetick you could then disable the Zen-Fire historical data then use Zen-Fire as the main feed for real-time data, and then Kinetick as the feed for historical data. More information at:

Thanks Ryan. Does the free End of Day Kinetick include historical tick (intraday) data?

thanks,

Hi shawnj,

The Kinetick End of Day (Free) feed would be historical daily data, but not include intra-day minute and tick data historically. That data is available with Kinetick with a subscription: https://www.kinetick.com/purchase

You’ll also enjoy all these benefits with the purchase of any symbol package:
• Fast, unfiltered data and other features: http://www.kinetick.com/features
• 500 Market Metrics Indices are automatically included. Full list at: http://www.kinetick.com/market-metrics
• Thousands of included indexes, like the Nasdaq and Dow Jones
• Eliminated exchange fees for qualified accounts: http://www.kinetick.com/CME
• Free Globex upgrades for qualified accounts
• Free delayed data for other exchanges not subscribed to
• Free news from RTT News, PR Newswire, and Business Wire

From a technical perspective, NinjaTrader writes directly to the underlying server technology vs going through an API layer. This results in an optimized interface between NinjaTrader and Kinetick when compared to NinjaTrader and some other data providers.
