Indicator question

[pinballmad]

Is there anything available for ether v6.5 or v7 that would represent commercial and noncommercial positioning in the index futures market??

I looked over the "indicators" part of the forum and couldn't spot anything.

Hello pinballmad,

Thank you for your post.

I believe you are referring to Open Interest. I am not aware of a NinjaTrader-support data provider that currently supplies this. However, I located a thread that you may be interested in reviewing. It has to do with the CFTC Commitment of Traders report & porting the data series into NinjaTrader.

Here is the link:

Please let us know if we can assist with anything else.

Thanks for the quick response Chip,

I read through the link and some others there and although interesting not quite what I was looking for. The COT data is published weekly and I was hoping to find something that tracks the changes at least on a daily time frame.

It would be perfect if the COT data could be received on an intraday basis, but as far as I konw, that's not possible. That is why I'm trying to find anything that tries to mirror/resemble/project this live..... large block trades vs small comes to mind first. Also, is it possible to place TICK/TRIN on the chart?

.... anything that uses tape reading in some shape or form would probably do.

Nothing on TICK/TRIN????

Hello pinballmad,

Please clarify what you mean by “nothing on TICK/TRIN?”

Note: these index symbols are available by default in NinjaTrader.

Hello Chip,

my question was is it possible to place them on a chart? I also asked if the is an indicator that uses "tape reading" data?

[NinjaTrader_Chip]

Yes – these symbols are available by default in NinjaTrader. If your data provider has enabled you to receive the data then they can be plot to the chart.
