NinjaTrader Converts Real-Time Data into Historical Data
NinjaTrader stores real-time incoming tick data to your local PC if you have a Chart or Market Analyzer (must have an indicator column added) window open. This data can then be used as historical data. For example, if you open a chart and let it run all day long, the data collected today, will be available as historical data when you open the same chart tomorrow.
Connecting to your Broker and a Market Data Provider Simultaneously
If your broker technology does not support historical data, you can connect to a service like eSignal at the same time as connecting to your broker so that you can receive historical data. Please see the topic on "Multiple Connections" for additional information.
Create a Connection to Yahoo for Free Historical Daily Data
You can create a connection to Yahoo Finance via the Tools-->Account Connections menu. This connection provides access to free historical daily data that can be used for system development and backtesting.
