  1. Dear Rajandran

    Thanks. It will be helpful if you could as well make an illustrative article as to how to get real time data from free resources like yahoo / google to Ninja Trader.

    Regards,

    Veer

  2. hi….where i can find 10 years of minute or tick data for say nifty/banknifty?……..i got 3-4 years but i am not sure whether the data is good or not?

    what points u consider while backtesting?….coz most of the freely available afl can get u 40 -45% with bit of twiks….please explain drawdown system.sharpe ratio and other factors in amibroker back test results…..

    i tried many afls and when i introduce stops…90% of them gives very bad results…why?

    which is the effective and economical autotrading platform for poor retailers like me.

    thanks for such a wonderful platform , and clearing market myths.

    1. Most of the people had saved since 2007 or 2008 for Nifty/Bank Nifty futures. You can ask in forums like traderji or inditraders people are there to help you out in getting the data.

      Points to Consider
      1)Is your sharpe ratio good. IF it is then your strategy is making consistent profits
      2)How you are going to arrest 7-8 consecutive losses in your trades. Plan for Some sort of money management
      3)Try to minimize your Drawdown using some sort of position sizing.

      Only the Strategy follower who understands his system better can come up with the solution for your problem. Try to understand your
      system better.

      As of now legal fully automated trading system in india is not for small traders. It comes with little bigger price tag.
      First trade manually if you are able to trade a system manually and able to make profit then you can increase your effieciency
      with auto trading. Auto trading is used to increase your trading efficiency not a gambling machine though.

  3. How can i add all the stocks which are trading in the NSE at one shot at Ninja trader. Adding each stock at a time is a tedious process. Waiting for ur reply

  4. Hi Rajendra,

    I need a clarification , is there any methods or any company which provides intraday Charts (5min, 10min, 30min) , basically i am looking for Historical intraday data .

    am not sure how to get this , if you know any company which can provide or any tool which can help in getting the same will be of great help…I tried many resources and their answer is a big “No”

    Thanks

    Do tell me how to add from yahoo the following scripts CNX Nifty (^NSEI), BankNifty (^NSEBANK) and M&M.NS
