[MBT] Futures Historical Data

[mat1024]

Dear Ninjatraders,

I am having difficulties dowloading historical data for forex futures (CME).

The Instrument Manager does not allow me to create futures instrument with expiry dates before 2009.

Furthermore, I cannot receive any continuous futures data.

MB Trading is my data provider, and I have subscribed to their CME data feed. I am using Ninjatrader 6.5.

How can I get futures data before 2009 with this setup?

Many thanks,

Hello mat1024,

Unfortunately historical data is not supported with MBTrading in NinjaTrader 6.5.

However, it will be supported in NinjaTrader 7. Please see the link below for more information.

Might I use Ninja 7 beta 13 to trade my MbTrading account

Might I use Ninja 7 beta 13 to trade my MbTrading account so I can use historical data.

Hi,

If you send an email to support[at]ninjatrader[dot]com we can see about setting you up with the next beta release.

Ryan I have beta 13 as a beta tester. I am just wanting to know if anyone has tested it on MBtrading and observed it is reasonably stable in both loading historical data and placing live orders.
