Help: Cheap Live DATA Feed with a .NET API Component?

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Can someone suggest a realtime data feed provider from a broker that also has a Microsoft .NET technology API component, at the moment I am using an OpenEcry but having difficulties with their API and current documentation?

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Regards

 

Simon

If you use IB, this one is great. But it is not the only option, of course there are a multitude of brokers and third party feeds out there. Not all free though.

 

Best wishes,

TB

Is there a time limit on the Zen-Fire free demo account? I see that NinjaTrader is available with it. Is that free also with no expiration? This information on their website is not clear. It appears that Zen-Fire is the data provider and NinjaTrader is the demo platform.

 

Has anyone tried these demo accounts?

Trade real money, and trade small until you get the feel of it.

Scaling up requires emotional capital as well, so you'd better know what you're doing before you even go there.

How about starting with free demo accounts until you get the feel of it?

I'm a certified NinjaScript developer, and been using the NT platform for many years. The platform itself is completely free, no limitation (except that you can't submit live trades to a broker on the free platform). There is a free spot currency feed from Gain Capital...been using it for years. The Zen-Fire datafeed is free for the first 30 days, they're becoming more restrictive on that...30-days and you're out, no exceptions. There is a new data provider named Kinetick and they're relatively inexpensive, but you do need to pay exchange fees in addition to the Kinetick charge. But, Kinetick is supplying intraday stock data, which is a first for NinjaTrader.

 

Let me know if you have any additional questions!

Thanks for your reply. I registered and tried to login; however, I can't seem to get connected. If the free demo is only 30 days, I'm not interested. I'm looking to test it like a paperMoney account. It seems that ThinkOrSwim is the only platform that offers the unlimited demo for learning how to trade with paperMoney.

If you need help connecting to the lifetime free Gain spot FX feed in NinjaTrader, here's a short video that explains the process: TechSmith | Screencast.com, online video sharing, K_SettingUpGainDatafeed

 

Also, I failed to mention that you can send TradeStation live data directly to your NT platform. So if you have TradeStation, this is a good option for papertrading.

 

One other excellent option for papertrading is NinjaTrader does have a Market Replay datafeed...this is live data that has been recorded and can be played-back at your convenience. In NT7, we'll soon be able to download these historical replay files on-demand. Right now, you have to personally record the files during live market action in order to have them for historical replay.

 

Finally, NT does have a Simulated datafeed...very handy for papertrading and/or testing your indicators or strategies (since you can control the direction and strength of the simulated trend to vet out your code).

Thanks for your instructional video. I got connected to Gains and was able to display a forex chart; however, I can't get it to display a stock chart. As a beginner trader, I would like to start trade simulations with stock. Later when I get used to trading concepts, I may move to forex. Do you have any other instructional videos for NinjaTrader? Even though I can see a list of stocks in the platform, I don't know how to get the platform to work with stock data. I don't have TradeStation, but I do have ThinkOrSwim.

Right now, the stocks are listed in the platform, but to get data for them, you need to connect to Yahoo (daily data only) or eSignal (intraday data), or TradeStation (intraday data). Kinetick also supports intraday stock data, but it is similar to eSignal in price.

 

I have one or two other videos on NinjaTrader...but not terribly interesting...one just shows how to import an indicator into the platform...let me know if you need that one. NinjaTrader itself has a good number of videos in their help docs. They also run a large number of training webinars every day of the week.

I have an account with TD Ameritrade. Is there a way to configure NinjaTrader for me to link to its streaming data? Otherwise, how do I link to Yahoo or another free data source? I think Yahoo's data has a 20 minute delay; at least with some trader MS Excel spreadsheets it is.

    • Date: 22nd May 2024. UK Inflation Drop Boosts GBP, But Analysts See Correction Signals. The NASDAQ forms its 5th bullish wave resulting in the index trading 8% higher this month alone. Investors are waiting for NVIDIA’s earnings report. The market awaits the release of the latest FOMC Meeting Minutes for further indications on the potential rate adjustments. The US Dollar Index declines to a 7-week low, but can tonight’s Meeting Minutes change the trend? Read below what economists are predicting. UK inflation declines from 3.2% to 2.3% in its largest drop since December 2023. The Pound increases as the inflation rate did not decline to 2.1% as previously GBPUSD – UK Inflation Drops But Does Not Meet Previous Expectations! The GBPUSD is trading 0.30% higher after the release of April’s UK inflation figures. The US Dollar and the Japanese Yen are the worst performing currencies of the day. Traders looking to speculate a rising Pound may benefit from these weakening currencies. The GBPJPY is trading 0.47% higher so far. However, investors should be cautious of any change in price action as the next session (European Market) opens. The UK’s inflation figure fell from 3.2% to 2.3% which is the largest drop in 2024 so far and brings the Bank of England closer to its target. This would normally pressure the currency, but there are some factors which have triggered a bullish Pound. This includes the Core Consumer Price Index which fell from 4.2% to 3.9% instead of falling to 3.6% which were the previous expectations. Also, certain sectors did not see a decline in inflation in April, which is a continued concern. For these reasons, investors have increased their exposure to the Pound, supporting the currency. Also, economists are advising that the weakening inflation rate can increase investment demand which also further supports the country’s economy and subsequently the currency. Furthermore, investors will also need to take into consideration the price condition of the US Dollar individually. Dollar traders will be focusing on tonight’s Federal Open Market Committee’s Meeting Minutes. The market will particularly be looking for clarity on how many adjustments are likely in 2024, if any at all. In addition to this, if an adjustment is likely in July, September or later in the year. If the report indicates less cuts and a delay, the US Dollar potentially can witness further demand and a change in trend. This is something which was particularly seen in April 2024. The price action of the GBPUSD is forming a bullish trend and most trend-based indicators are signalling a higher price. However, there are signs that the price may correct back to the previous range. For example, on the 4-Hour chart the price is witnessing a divergence signal. in addition to this, the price is also trading at a significant resistance level from November, December and January. Though, for the resistance level to become active, the Dollar will likely require support from the upcoming Meeting Minutes. In the short term, sell signals are likely to materialize after crossing 1.27400 and 1.27268.   USA100 – Bullish Trend, But Investor Focus On Meeting Minutes & NVIDIA Earnings The NASDAQ saw a decline in the price as the US Open was approaching, however, the price momentum quickly changed when US investors started trading. The index rose 0.30% by the end of day and was the best performing US index. During the US Session 62.5% of stocks holding a weight of more than 1.00% rose while 37.5% fell. The main price drivers which supported the upward price movement were Microsoft, Alphabet, Apple, NVIDIA and Netflix. Investors will closely be monitoring the upcoming earnings report for NVIDIA, but also the FOMC’s Meeting Minutes. A more restrictive monetary policy can pressure the stock market, but the level of pressure and downward price movement will also depend on the results of NVIDIA’s earnings. Additionally, shareholders will also focus on Intuit’s Quarterly Earnings Report tomorrow evening, but this will have a lesser effect compared to NVIDIA. A concern for intraday traders is the decline in indices around the world in markets which are currently open. For example, the DAX, FTSE100, CAC and Nikkei225 are all trading lower. In addition to this, the US 10-Year Bond Yields are trading 0.0027% higher which is additional pressure on equities. Nonetheless, technical analysis in the medium to longer term continue to point to a continued upward trend. Always trade with strict risk management.
