Hi everyone,

I believe I did the steps correctly, but for some reason, I'm not getting the data to show up in the Playback Connection.

Anyhow, please give me the steps or point me in the direction that will allow me to download historical tick data so that I can play it back.

Also, I know there are Market Replay and Historical Data. Can you tell me the difference? From what I was told, Market Replay is more accurate. How?

Thanks

Very generally, here are the steps:

1. Download the replay data
2. Connect to market replay
3. Open a chart for the instrument you downloaded
4. Adjust the replay controls to the dates you want to replay and then begin playback

You can confirm what market replay data you have by connecting to Market Replay, right-clicking on the replay controls > Available data. Your charts/other windows will only playback data which is listed in the 'available data' list.

Please view the following resources on how to use Market Replay in NinjaTrader 7:

Historical data cannot be used for market replay in NinjaTrader 7. In NinjaTrader 8 you can use either market replay data or historical data for playback. The NinjaTrader 8 help guide goes into detail about the differences:
