How to get the Dollar Index (DX or DXY) on NinjaTrader 8?

Yes You can get the dollar index (DX) into NinjaTrader. You can get almost everything possible into NinjaTrader as long as you have a data provider that will supply the data. This is one of the reason why the NinjaTrader platform is pretty popular.

The free trial of NinjaTrader's futures data does not however include the DX so you would be forced to get your own paid data plan for the DX data.

The far cheaper way to trade this would be to see if your FX data offers the DX to trade which might have a different symbol like USDOLLAR. However the price and movement would be very similar as the actual contract and will probably have a small spread built into it. But again, probably a much cheaper option that would fit a lot of peoples needs.
