Show Data Box question...

[Alfred]

Hi...

Currently have 3 workspaces open...8 charts on 2, 12 charts on 1...on one workspace, when you click to open the Data Box it will open OK from any chart in that workspace. On the other 2 workspaces, when you highlight the Data Box icon on any chart, all of the other charts Data Box icons also become highlighted...you can then also see an increase in the items (by one) in the Ninja taskbar box when the data box icon is highlighted....this seems to be the Data Box but that window cannot then be opened from the task bar.

Am wondering if having so many charts open in workspaces is messing this up somehow ??....opening another workspace with just 4 charts open...does not work there either...this used to work OK for me in any workspace...

Thanks...

Hello Alfred,

Thank you for your post.

I am unable to reproduce this.

1.) Please make sure you are on the latest version of NinjaTrader 6.5.1000.11. You can check under Help --> About.
If not, please download from this link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/do...g_software.htm

2.) If you are on the current version, please try the following:

Please try repairing your database:
1. Go to Tools --> Options --> Misc --> Repair DB

Please try repairing your NinjaTrader Installation:
1. Shut Down NinjaTrader
2. Go to Uninstall Programs in the Windows Control Panel
3. Select NinjaTrader and hit the "repair" or "change" button and follow the instructions to repair the installation.

You will need to do the following:

1.) Uninstall NinjaTrader 6.5 using the Windows Control Panel.
2.) Clear browser history and cache (Internet Explorer: Tools --> Internet Options --> Delete).
3.) Reinstall NinjaTrader 6.5: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/do...g_software.htm

Thanks for the video!

Please try the following to bring the missing window into the current monitor
1. Right click on the missing window's icon in the Window's Toolbar at the bottom of the screen
2. Select move. If not available, double click the icon and try again.
3. Without pressing anything else, press the right arrow key ->.
4. Now move your mouse into the middle of the screen and your window should be attached.

Hi RJ...

Magic !!...it worked !!

I switched from a 20" to 24" monitor last week and the new pixel pitch is slightly larger which had forced the data box window off the screen...did not think of this as the problem till about an hour ago...

Incidentally...you can hit several keys to make this restore work...after selecting "move"...

Just hit any one of the arrow keys (Left, Right, Down, Up), move your mouse, and the window should magically “pop” back onto the screen.
Note: For keyboard savvy people, you can just alt-tab to the window, use Alt+Space, then M, then Arrow key, and then move your mouse.


Thanks for your time on this RJ !!
