Yahoo intraday data
In v6.5 with "store real time bar data" ticked in options I can have minute bars in real time with yahoo as long as I´m online. Why doesn´t this work in v7?Tags: None

Hello highasakite,
Thank you for your post.
Within NinjaTrader 7 this option is found under Tools-->Options-->Data tab-->Save chart data as historical.
Unfortunately Yahoo only provides EOD Daily data for equities. 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 asset classes they support.
Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.Christopher J.NinjaTrader Customer Service

ChristopherJ, I think you misunderstand me, but thanks for your reply. I know there is the option "Save chart data as historical" in v7. Its the equivalent of v6´s "store real time bar data".
My question is, why can I get minute bars drawn in real time with yahoo, and saved on the chart, in v6.5 BUT NOT in v7?
I know Yahoo only provides EOD Daily data for equities, but still, in v6.5, if you are online, have chosen minute charts, the minute bars are drawn in real time and saved if you have ticked that. I´m not talking about historical minute data, I´m talking about bars drawn only in real time, and saved for later viewing if you have ticked the mentioned box. So why is this working in v6.5 but not in v7?
Bukkan, thanks, I´ll look into it.

Hi Kyle,
Well, since there clearly is more than delayed daily interval end-of-day (from yahoo), the question remains - why does it work in 6.5 and not in 7?
Try it yourself - load ninja 6.5, connect to yahoo, load a chart (it only works if the chart for the instrument is loaded), let it be online during the time the stock, etf or index is traded on the exchange, and at the end of the day you´ll have all the minute bars you wish for that session. Repeat this procedure for a week or so, and you´ll have the historical minute data saved 5-10 days back. There´s even no delay, yahoo draws the minute bars in real time during the day, as long as you don´t change that particular chart to another instrument or close it.

I have tested this within NinjaTrader 7 and received real time data within a 1 minute chart. Please adjust your Market Data Request Interval with the steps I have provided below.- Disconnect
- Tools
- Account Connectoins
- Select Yahoo
- Change
- Next
- Next
- Set Market Data Request Interval to 0
- Next
- Finish
- Reconnect
Next open a new chart and let me know if real time data updates.Christopher J.NinjaTrader Customer Service

Hi ChristopherJ,
I tried what you listed, but didn´t get it to work. With set to zero nothing is drawn within the minute settings, and it even won´t load the normal daily/weekly charts with this setting.

Yes, it was ^OMX according to yahoo´s designation. It´s the swedish top 30 stock index, OMX30. I also tried with some stock from the index and an ETF like GDX or USO. I will have another go after the weekend with the latest beta. Concerning the loading of the usual daily and weekly charts, it managed to do it sometimes, but only after a long time and with difficulty (with the timing at zero).
Thanks for your help, and please try these instruments "on your side" when the markets open again, as will I do.

Just tried the latest beta 15 and the problem persists.
Only for an ETF like GDX was some minute bars shown, but it was the same bars either if I chose 1 min, 5 min, 60 min etc. And it struggled going back to daily, and in fact just crashed because of that. Tried to mail the trace-file from within the program but that failed too. It crashed on me 3 times in a row now, when trying to load charts.
Now it even fails with the deafult 60 timing, can´t even load the SP500 daily chart.
What stock or instrument are you succeeding with? Can you get 5 min bars for the whole day?

I have tested this with AAPL however when plotting anything other than a Daily chart not all historical data is available which is expected.
I would like to look at your log and trace files to see what caused the crashes. Please send a note to Support [AT] NinjaTrader [DOT] com with "ATTN: Chris" in the subject line.
In the message, please include the following:
1.) A link to this forum thread.
2.) Your most current trace and log files.
You will find the file here: My Documents > NinjaTrader 7 > Trace > trace.YYYYMMDD.txt
Log file will be located by going to Documents->NinjaTrader 7->Log->log.YYYYMMDD.txtChristopher J.NinjaTrader Customer Service

Just sent you the files.
No, but if staying online for the whole day/session with a particular stock, there will be historical intraday data saved for that period at the end of the day, that´s what I ment. That´s what I have in 6.5 and would like to achieve in v7 too.
