Connect NQ / NAS100 market data

FinancialJuice is already supplying news. The missing piece is a source of live price/tick data. v6 gives you two working routes.

Fastest route: use the MetaTrader 5 feed you already trade/watch

Attach the included NewsFlow_MT5_Bridge.mq5 Expert Advisor to your NAS100/NQ chart. It sends MT5 ticks directly to this website, so you do not need a separate Python server just to make the dashboard live.

File: bridges/mt5/NewsFlow_MT5_Bridge.mq5

  1. MT5 → File → Open Data Folder → MQL5 → Experts.
  2. Copy the EA there and compile it in MetaEditor.
  3. MT5 → Tools → Options → Expert Advisors → allow WebRequest for this website's HTTPS origin.
  4. Attach the EA to your NAS100/NQ chart.
  5. Set the NewsFlow URL and the ingest_token from config.php.
  6. Turn on Algo Trading.

Route A — MetaTrader 5

Best for: getting the current system working immediately from an existing MT5 NAS100/NQ chart.

No extra data API required.

When MT5 supplies trade-side flags and real volume, NewsFlow uses them. Otherwise the feed is explicitly marked as a broker_tick_estimate.

Read the MT5 bridge instructions

Route B — Databento CME

Best for: true NQ/MNQ exchange order flow and stronger footprint/absorption analysis.

Requires a Databento account/API key and appropriate CME live-data entitlement.

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r bridges/requirements.txt
cp bridges/.env.example bridges/.env
cd bridges
./run_bridge.sh

Important distinction

If your MT5 instrument is a NAS100 CFD, the feed is broker-specific. It will make the dashboard live and is useful for price/tick reaction analysis, but it is not the centralized CME order flow shown by an exchange-grade NQ footprint. For that, switch the same dashboard to the Databento CME bridge.
