TD Ameritrade does not show up. I also want to TEST it prior to buying or renting the software.

Hello,

Please register for a free simulation license key from the following link:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/download-registration.php

We will then email you a free simulation key which will be enabled for TD Ameritrade and allow you to test the software for as long as you need.

OK, now I am really confused. Is this a DIFFERENT key than what I was sent initially when I downloaded the software? The one in my email from two days ago is the one I am putting in and it gives me this error http://screencast.com/t/12GShNscs2.

Hello,

I'm not sure which license key you were provided originally. Can you please email us the license key you are currently using to support[at]ninjatrader[dot]com

Thank you for responding to my emails and calling me to get me connected. I appear to be connected as shown in this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/vjnw7nufY6. However, as also shown, I do not appear to be able to test an order to sell the EUR/USD at market and receive the error message indicated.

Additional assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hello Ted,

Unfortunately TD Ameritrade does not provide forex data to NinjaTrader. You will only have access to Stock and Indexes.

For forex broker, you would need to use GAIN/Forex.com, MBTrading or Interactive Brokers.

Mathew, thank you.

I need to be able to "test" NT before purchasing anything or investing any new money into another account. If this isn't possible, then the possibility of selling anything to me is nill.

You can open free trials and demos with these brokers and test with ninjatrader at no additional cost.

[tedpenner]

Excellent! Thank you sir. Of the ones you mentioned, what are the pros and cons of those three? I've heard that IB might be the best.

GAIN/Forex.com - free trial
MBTrading - free trial
Interactive Brokers - free trial or 10k

Hello,

I would not be able to comments on the pros and cons of these broker's, however perhaps another community member can share their experience.

Equity order submission to TD

Hi support,

I just connected to TDAmeritrade and do get equity quotes and data from them. So now I can create equity real time equity chart on my Ninja platform which is good. However, I would like to know if I can submit equity orders via the DOM. If so, how can I get them to display within the "Instrument" drop down list on the DOM along with my futures symbols after having entered them in to my default symbol list by way of the Instrument Manager in the Control Center?

Thanks for help.

[NinjaTrader_Kyle]

Hello Spartacus,

The symbols would need to be added to your Default instrument list before they can be selected from the Instrument drop-down menu within the SuperDOM. Please see the following link to our Help Guide for more information about adding symbols to an instrument list: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ment_lists.htm
