Options on futures

[NickyD]

My options chain window is empty when I try to load up any futures options chains. Does the CME All Markets Bundle with Continuum include data for options on futures?

For options data to appear in the Options Chain window, your account must be enabled for 'NinjaWAPI' and then 'WebAPI (beta)' must be enabled in the connection within NinjaTrader. Based on the information you've provided, it sounds like your account is not enabled for WebAPI or, if it is enabled, 'WebAPI (beta)' is not enabled in the connection.

If you have not yet had a conversation with your broker about enabling options data, please contact your broker to request or confirm if your account is enabled for options data.

Thank you

Now it makes sense

[NickyD]

I've enabled WebAPI as instructed, live data is working well. Is historical Time and Sales data available for these options if I am using Continuum?

[NinjaTrader_PatrickG]

Historical Time & Sales data is not available. This is a real-time window only.

Thanks Patrick,
I have some issues. I am using ninjatrader broker account. Could you please tell me how to enable WebAPI?
Many thanks,

Hello thomson,

Thank you very much for your post.

If your brokerage supports the WebAPI connection, you may find this option within the "NinjaTrader Continuum" connection settings.

Please note that options are not supported by the NinjaTrader Brokerage. To trade Options on Futures you would have to connect to an Interactive Brokers connection, as this is the only currently supported provider for Options on Futures at the time of this post:

Please don't hesitate to let me know, should you have any further questions!

Thanks for your update.
Cheers,
