Hi, was wondering if Ninja can support a TICK chart, i think its a new york stock exchange instrument. On trade station, the symbol is $TICK. Was wondering if Ninja can load same instrument, thanks, Shan

Hello Shan,

Unfortunately Zen-Fire/Mirus only provides Futures data. I have provided a link below to the data providers supported by NinjaTrader. This page will go over the types of data they offer as well as the instruments they support.

I am also with Mirus future/Zenfire. What is the cheapest way for me to get the $tick indicator?

omarmalik,

Thank you for your post.

If $TICK data is all you require beyond what Zen-Fire offers currently, your best bet would likely be a data-only provider like BarChart, eSignal, DTN.IQ Feed or (if you're using NinjaTrader 7) Kinetick.

Barchart.com (subscriptions starting at $45/monthly):

IQFeed offers a 7-day free trial for NinjaTrader users.

Chris:

Followed the steps you set out for Shan and now have $TICK as an instrument. One usage for this feature is to use in the YM chart similar to an indicater, same time frame, etc.

Is it possible to depict these two instruments on the same chart? if so can you link me to that part of the Guide that explains the steps?

Thanks!
