Market Replay and Historical Data

[ForexResearch]

Please excuse me if this has been asked before.

Is there any way to import historical data for a few consecutive days, and use the Market Replay to see how my strategies would have worked?

Although you can import historical data, this historical data "only" would be used for charting and backtesting but not for market replay. Sorry...

Is there any way to format ANY sort of data so it can be replayed in the Market Replay?

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Sorry no. There is no way to import data so you could it for replay.

Which files are involved? Is it, in other words, possible to take the files from one computer, and transfer them to another, if they were recording different data? How, and which files? Thanks in advance.

Replay files are located under My Documents\NinjaTrader 6\db\data

They are then further organized by folder where each folder represents a data of recorded replay data. Yes, you can transfer these files between PC's.

I use 3 instruments, like ES, ER2 and $tick to display and as inputs for trade entries for ES. I use ESig for data source. My goal is to do backtesting. ESig only provides one symbol for replay. Is there a data source that will provide tick synchronized multiple data streams for back testing?

NinjaTrader market replay is full replay of multiple instruments in sync with each other. Provided you run NT and have replay recording data enabled (see Help Guide) and all instruments display and collecting data, you can run them all in replay and run your strategy against the data at a future time.

Is there anywhere we can go or anyone who can send me these replay files for the past few weeks at least? I used to use Sierra's replay function but have found the NT6 charting much better and would like to do replays here now... thanks.

NinjaTrader does not provide historical replay data, maybe someone may read this thread and share.
