Historical tick data

[crimsonite]

Hello,

My broker only provides tick data going back about three years on the most popular contracts, and tick data going back a few months for the rest of them.

Is it possible to download historical tick data from the internet, maybe from Ninja LLC, maybe for free... and import it to the historical data manager?

Hi crimsonite,

Thanks for your post.

It is possible to import data from another source by following the steps outlined at the following link to our Help Guide: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h.../importing.htm

I read the help menu, what I was really wondering is it someone could point me to a place, maybe from Ninja, where I can download tick data from outside my broker (Google feed won't do it).

Hi crimsonite,

Unfortunately, NinjaTrader does not offer historical data which would extend beyond the three years you're looking for here. I myself am not aware of any provider save for Kinetick who offers more tick data than this. (Kinetick's paid service offers up to five years of tick data)

If you have interest in setting up service with Kinetick, you can find more information about the service here: http://www.kinetick.com/

I'm not worried about buying feeds... I was saying, downloading data and importing it into the historical data manager.

Nobody lets one download tick data from the internet then import it?

Hi crimsonite,

Unfortunately, I know of no source of tick data which would extend beyond the three years you mentioned you already have access to. This thread will be left open for comment of other users of course.
