thanks

Is it possible to do it without paying for a data feed? Even of it means getting delayed data?

There are no free real time market data services supported by NinjaTrader.

Can Ninjatrader be used with a Tradestation data feed?

Strange.
I've been playing around with some stuff and I 'appear' to be getting realtime stock data from yahoo which updates in the 'market analyser'? although doesn't seem to reflect in the charts which dont seem to work properly. ???

If there are prices moving in the 'market analyser' surely there must be a way to get them to reflect on to a chart?

Yahoo does not provide historical data. That likely is the issue. You can send future support questions to our support team.

If I place a market order with NT how do I know that some algorithm in NT servers does not frontrun it?

NinjaTrader does not front run orders. We submit your orders directly to the brokerage server.

The ATM capability is very good. Allows me to scale positions and exit accordingly. But, I paid a life time for it.
I guess that is the part where you do charge.

I've been using Kinetick with NT7 for a while now. NT7 is working beautifully with Kinetick for futures but I've noticed some pretty big discepencies with blue chip stock quotes compared to IB's (which were correct as I checked them against BATS). Whether it's a NT beta problem or a Kinetck one, I don't know. Maybe Ray can comment on this?

I am not sure you can compare Kinetick to IB's snapshot data and BATS which only publishes trades on their exchange.
