NinjaTrader Continuum Data since May 2019 only

[morong0414]

I subscribed to Ninjatrader Continuum Data for MES.

If I select the monthly timeframe in the MES chart, the data is loaded since May 2019.

How could I load more data e.g. since YR 2000?

Hi maybe that is when the contract was first introduced May 2019

Thanks. If that's the case, how could I show more data for MES?

Hello morong0414,

Thank you very much for your post.

sonia0101 is indeed correct in this regard. The MES, as well as many other Future contracts, were only introduced in May 2019.

This means they did not exist prior and would not have any recorded data, as they weren't being traded.

Please don't hesitate to let us know, should you have any further questions in this regard!

Oh right sorry I misunderstand your answer @sonia0101.

Thanks Manfred for your help. For ES, I noticed that the data is available from March 2009. How could I get the data beforehand as it was introduced in 1990? Thanks.

Hello morong0414,

Thank you very much for your post.

Our platform only recorded this data starting in 2009. To receive historical data going back further, you would have to contact a third-party provider of historical data.

If you would like assistance with finding such a provider or have further questions, please let me know!

[morong0414]

Thanks. Any provider would you recommend that can show all data of ES/MES? Thanks.

Hello morong0414,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I've reached out to our Vendor Support Team, who works with all third-party vendors. They suggested the following:

Kinetick End of Day provides historical daily, monthly, and yearly data from the start of the ES (Sept '97) and the start of MES (May 2019).
All paid Kinetick subscriptions receive the same amount of daily, monthly, and yearly data along with minute data back to 9/6/2007 for the ES and minute data since the launch of MES (May 2019).
Furthermore, both instruments receive 180 days of historical tick data.

Would this amount suffice? If so, Kinetick would be a viable source of historical data.

Please let me know if you have any further questions in this regard!

HI

What is the best way to get all MES historical data up to 2019?

[morong0414]

Hi Manfred, as mentioned I am currently using NinjaTrader Continuum as my data source. Are there any other differences between paid Kinetick subscriptions and NinjaTrader Continuum, except the paid Kinetick subscription has 2 years old data for ES? Also, it seems that my Kinetick End of Day (Free) data includes the data up to 2004 only as per below, instead of 1997. Any way to fix that? Thanks.

Hi team, may I have some update on this please? Thanks
