I am using the SIM account and I am unable to paper trade because the market goes where I tell it to with the little side bar. How do I get the simulated data to actually follow the market for real instead of doing what I tell it? That seems kinda pointless.

Unable to paper trade
Hello,
I am using the SIM account and I am unable to paper trade because the market goes where I tell it to with the little side bar. How do I get the simulated data to actually follow the market for real instead of doing what I tell it? That seems kinda pointless.Tags: None

Hello boxerboy1168,
Thank you for writing in.
At the moment, it sounds like you are connecting to the "Simulated Data Feed"- This market data has absolutely no correlation to the real world markets
- The Simulated Data Feed is completely made up market data that you have control over with the Trend Slider
- This connection is useful for testing out features in the platform, testing ATM Strategies, and Testing Alerts
- Please see the following link for more information on the Simulated Data Feed:
If you are wanting to practice Simulated Trading with Real-world Real-time market data, you could request the Free Two Week Demo of Futures Market Data. If you have already done that, you will need to get a real-time market data subscription from one of the Brokers or Market data providers that connect to NinjaTrader.- Free Two Week Demo of Futures Market Data:
- This is sent directly by the exchange so NinjaTrader is unable to see, change, extend, or reset the credentials
- It will only last for 14 calendar days from requesting it
- It can only be requested Once per Calendar Year
- Please see the following links for more information on how to set up this connection:
- Please click here for an example.
- Please follow along with this publicly available video for a demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T9n_gP8SpM
- Or, you may follow along with this connection guide for more information: https://ninjatrader.com/ConnectionGu...nnection-Guide
If you have already used up the Free Demo of Futures Market data above, I am not aware of another free trial. You would need to figure out which Broker/Market data provider works best for you and get a subscription to their market data.
Please see the following link for more information on the different Brokers and Market Data Providers that connect to NinjaTrader:Please see the following link for more in-depth information on the data each Broker/Market data provider provides to NinjaTrader:Clayton G.NinjaTrader Customer Service
