With NinjaTrader 7 once the configuration file is corrupted a lot of data is lost and cannot be retrieved as the data does not come in separate files. This includes
- session templates
- instrument settings (ticksize, rollover date, rollover offset)
I had to enter this manually several times, when changing the configuration of my PC (when the backup file could not be reinstalled).
With NinjaTrader 8 there is an improvement, as the session templates are now stored under templates -> TradingHours. I am glad to see this.
However, what happens to the instrument master data, when the configuration file is corrupted? Let us assume that I wish to trade Japanese stocks and that I have imported all 225 Nikkei stocks from a list. In a second step I would need to enter the tick size for each of the 225 stocks manually.
Now what happens when the configuration file is no longer working as expected? How can I save the instrument settings (ticksize for stocks, rollover dates and offsets) such that I can reuse them with a new installation or on a second machine?
Is there a separate file for the instrument settings?
Or will NinjaTrader 8 ship with the Nikkei 225 stocks preset, taking into account that Japan has the second largest stock market in the world? That would also fix the isue.
