Yahoo error message with ETF and DAX

winddrifter · 09-16-2009, 01:11 AM

Hi,
I'm connected to yahoo okay but get an error message when trying to get data for FR0010204081EUR chart.
Same thing happens for the DAX and any instrument from the instrument manager (Default) that ends with 09-09.
Any ideas

winddrifter, welcome to our forums! This is partially expected as the Yahoo connection supports daily equities data only - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...ricalData.html

Please try a common stock from the DOW30 instruments list with a daily interval and see if you get data for this then.

ETF's are not setup per default by us, so you would need to a master instrument for this to the NinjaTrader database first - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...eDatabase.html

Okay, if I understand you correctly then Yahoo doesn't provide index data, only for single stocks?

No, indices should be also accessible - for example please try the SP500 index symbol on a daily timeframe for this.
