Tradestation as data feed (realtime and historical) for NT8

[bomberone3]

I like to get real-time data from Tradestation 10 to NT8.
It was possible to get realtime data from TradeStation in NT7 or NT6 but I can not do be NT8.

I read the help and many posts but I can not load for example @es real-time data with historical data.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/?tradestation_symbol_mapping.htm

Please could someone post a video help how to setup?

These are example of symbols of back adjusted data from TradeStation that I'd like to have in NT8

http://help.tradestation.com/10_00/eng/TradeStationHelp/symbology/custom_continous_futures_symbology.htm

Example 1

@ESM20=11INC represents a custom continuous contract based on the E-Mini S&P 500 June 2020 with a rollover to the 1st nearest contract based on the 1st instance of higher open interest and using a constant back adjustment calculation.


Example 2

@ES=209XR represents a custom continuous contract based on the E-Mini with a rollover to the 2nd nearest contract occurring 9 days prior to expiration and using a ratio back adjustment calculation.


Example 3

@ESM20=105NC+MZ represents a custom continuous contract based on the E-Mini S&P 500 June 2020 with a rollover to the 1st nearest contract occurring 5 days prior to expiration and using a constant back adjustment calculation. Note the December contract is the 1st nearest because only the June and December contracts are included in this continuous contract as specified by the +MZ suffix.

Hello bomberone3,

Thank you for your post.

Please note that TradeStation connectivity is only available through NinjaTrader 7. The TradeStation connection option will not be available in NinjaTrader 8.

The following link will take you to a page that details the steps required for creating a connection to TradeStation in NT7.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/ConnectionGuides/TradeStation-Connection-Guide

Important limitations about Tradestation connectivity in NinjaTrader:

• The interface is designed to support real-time market data for a maximum of only a few symbols simultaneously for the purpose of trade simulation in NinjaTrader, any more and you may experience performance limitations
• The interface is NOT designed to dynamically populate NinjaTrader charts with historical data from TradeStation

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Is it possible to request this feature:
Full working connection of realtime and historical data feed Tradestation 10 (tickdata, second data, minute data...) to NT8, please?


All other platforms support Tradestation like Datafeed:

Just to clarify, if I just wanna use TS historical data with NT7 strategy analyzer, would this work?

[NinjaTrader_Heath]

Hello Leeroy_Jenkins,

Thank you for your note.

Your vote has been added to this SFT.

Additionally Historical data is not available through TS in NinjaTrader 7, so this would not allow you to use the Strategy Analyzer.
