Hi Fonzy458,
Thank you for your post.
NinjaTrader does support the charting of stock indices, however you would need to have a data provider that offers that type of data to chart within NinjaTrader. Patsystems does not provide stock indices data, but if you refer to the following link you can see which of our data providers do.
Yahoo is a data provider that does support stock indices, but there data is end of day historical data only. It can be set up for free, though. The following link will take you to a page that details the steps required for creating a connection to Yahoo finance.

Hello Fonzy458,
If you are connecting to Pats then you will need to make sure that you are enabled for this data & that you are plotting a supported interval. Note: in the link provided, Pats supports Real-Time & Daily intervals; historical Minute, historical Tick data are not supported.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions.ChipNinjaTrader Customer Service

1.) To verify your authorization for an instrument, you will need to contact your broker or data provider.
2.) This is correct.
Hi
I get this error (attached screenshot) when I try to pull up a chart for a cash index that is available on my PATS server.

Hi Fonzy458,
Is NK225 CSH a instrument you have created in the Instrument Manager?
If not, you will need to do so before it is possible to chart the instrument.
NinjaTrader comes pre-loaded with the most commonly traded instruments however, you may find the need to add an additional instrument. Please follow the instructions below to add an instrument in the Instrument Manager.
- From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools > Instrument Manager
- Press the "New" button
- *Enter in instrument specific information and select the appropriate exchange (add Default exchange for equities in addition to the actual exchange)
- Fill in any relevant information under the "Misc" tab such as symbol mapping for your target connectivty provider
- Press the "OK" button
* If you wish to add an equity, this can be accomplished without following the steps above. Just open a chart (for example) and start typing in the symbol and a new instrument is automatically created.
The instrument is now added to the master instrument list. Please follow the instructions below if you want to add this instrument to an instrument list.
- Select the instrument list you wish to add the instrument to via the "Instrument lists" drop down list in the upper left hand corner
- Select the exchange (Default recommend for equities) as this will route orders to your broker smart routing system
- Select the appropriate expiration date if this is a futures instrument
- Press the "<" button to add the instrument to the list
You are now complete and can press the "OK" button.KyleNinjaTrader Customer Service
