Yahoo Connection and Real Time Data

[sultanoflondon]

Hi all,

I use Ninja Trader on my PC, running Windows 8, with 4GB RAM, simulating on the Sim101 account.

I have had constant problems on Ninja Trader since I downloaded a few weeks ago:

I have set up a Yahoo market data connection, which works. Sometimes.

When I try to execute a trade, some go through, and some don't.

For example, QCOM, AAPL, GOOG all go through, but anything else, doesn't. Obviously, I haven't tried to trade all stocks floated on the exchange!

All I want to know is this:

Is there a market data feed online that is FREE, and can connect to Ninja Trader and real time?


Thanks!

Hello sultanoflondon,

Thank you for your post.

There is no free, real-time data feed available. All real time data feeds for NinjaTrader require a subscription. I am aware of a few brokerages that offer free demos of their data feeds, but I am not aware of a real-time demo data feed for equities (stocks). If you are interested in a free demo of data from NinjaTrader Brokerage for futures data, you can sign up at the following link.

Okay, thanks!

What kind of trades can I do on the Sim101 account using Yahoo for the market data? Can I do day trading?

Hello sultanoflondon,

Thank you for your response.

I believe that my colleague Chris has answered this question in a different forum post that you created so I'm providing a link to his response below.
