Yahoo: Moved Permanently - new server

Ninjatrade: 6.5.1000.10
Connection: Yahoo

There seemse to be some issue how Ninjatrade fetch Yahoo data.
Below is a HTTP session I took with Wireshark which Ninjatrader send to finance.yahoo.com. The answers its been permanently moved to another server, download.finance.yahoo.com

Not sure what you are referring to.

I just
- started 6.5.1000.10
- connected to YAHOO
- pulled up a new market analyzer
- put on MSFT -> after a few secs I saw data populating the MSFT row
- I pulled up a new daily chart on MSFT 365 days back -> was populated as well no problem

What exact (!) problem are you experiencing?

[KalleAdamssson]

Sorry, I should been more clear what I was doing.
Think I found the problem, its related to selecting a too short Intervall

1. I do File/Connect -> "Connected-Yahoo" in lower left
2. File/New/Chart...
<SP500>, MSFT, 30 min interval, <none> template, Days back:150
=> blank chart
3. Close the blank chart
4. Now with another Intervall
File/New/Chart...
<SP500>, MSFT, 1 day interval, <none> template, Days back:150
=> now it works, a nice chart

I guess Yahoo only provide EOD data, but a information message to the user would be good.

However, regardless of intervall, my Wireshark-trace shows a HTTP response "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently", so there is some fault in Ninjatrade-code anyway.

Unfortunately we can't comment on how 3rd part debug/analysis tools work. Please let us know as NT would not was expected.

Please see how for an overview on historical data providers: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...ricalData.html
.. where you can find that YAHOO does not (!) support historical intraday data.
