Hi All,
Does anyone know if it's possible to get data live and historical data from MT5 into Ninjatrader 8 so that I can do my analysis in the latter?
The reason for this is that Ninjatrader 8 has limited data vendor support for CFDs. They supposedly support FOREX.COM and City Index but these two brokers don't support Ninjatrader 8 in the UK.

Thanks for any help.
Regards,
iq

PS I would be willing to pay for any commercial addon.

I think FXCM and Oanda used to support NT8, not sure if they still do. The platforms use different formats for how they get the data input.
There are software such as Tickstory though which lets you download data and convert it the correct format.

Thanks. I was looking for something that can be used more like a feed than doing the manual work. I understand NT8 supports some kind of DDE so thought perhaps there was some kind of bridge or something available that uses this.
