Configuring a Data Feed for SimNow CTA Strategies
Summary
This brief forum exchange addresses a VeighNa user who connected to SimNow but received a message that no data service was available. A reply points out that the contract-query success message had not appeared before the module was started, and advises following the project documentation. Another reply explains that CTA strategies commonly need a configured data feed to retrieve historical data during strategy initialization.
The discussion offers a basic troubleshooting clue: verify contract-query completion and configure a historical data provider before initializing the strategy. It does not identify a specific provider, give setup steps, or confirm the cause of the user's issue, so it serves as a pointer rather than a complete diagnostic guide.
Key ideas
- Check that the contract query completes before starting the trading module.
- CTA strategy initialization commonly depends on historical data from a configured data feed.
- The forum exchange points readers to project documentation but gives no provider-specific setup instructions.
