Renko charts

[koganam]

Hello,
I have a problem with my Renko charts. I have Interactivebrokers as my data provider and my ninja is connected to it. I can work well with renko charts on historical data, but as soon as I connect to real live data, I have a problem with my graph. My renko bars start creating since the time I opened the chart and everything before that is blank, altought market is opened. In other words- I can not see any previous bars of the session. Lets say I start trading YM at 16:00, I can se on my chart renko bars created since 16:00 but I would like to see morning situation or situation at 12:00 14:00, 15:30 etc...Can you please help me where is the problem? I tried 1min graph at the same conditions and it works normal ( I can see previous bars till 3 days ago) but with Renko bars (same setup) nothing previous

Thanks for your help and advices
Tomas

Get a data provider who provides historical tick data, from which Renko bars are built.

Hello Tomass,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

The Interactive Brokers connection in NinjaTrader does not supply historical tick data. You can find details on the data provided by each provider at the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...rical_data.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.

You can set NinjaTrader to record live data as historical by going to Tools > Options > Market Data > Real-time > enable the option 'Record live data as historical' > OK.

Keep in mind this will record all live data that is being received in the platform.

You would set the Brick Size to 5 for a 5 pip brick size.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello MichaelAlexander,

Thank you for your response.

You will need to keep the chart open and running for it to save the live data as historical.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Renko bars

I also have the problem that seems to relate to brick size

Please see image attached.

I have selected renko - but the chart is blank and the scale is off

Also anyone know how the renko bricks are now created ie do session breaks break the bricks? as per discussion http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ad.php?t=47011


Thanks

Hello cummish,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

So I may investigate this matter further please answer the following questions.

Who are you connected to? This is displayed by green on lower left corner of the Control Center window.

Do you receive an error on screen? Are there errors on the Log tab of the Control Center? If so, what do these errors report?

I look forward to your response.

Are you using Kinetick EOD or do you have a real-tie subscription to Kinetick?
