I have a saved workspace and locally recorded data for ES 12-10 displayed on 3 different charts. My usual procedure is to disconnect and reconnect to Mirus/Zen-Fire and then reload historical data during the 4:15 - 4:30 no trading period during the week. My Format Data Series is set for 3 days, with the Last Date set to the current day.
On weekends I restart NinjaTrader before the market opens at 6:00 on Sunday, and reload historical data at that time. When I tried this yesterday, my workspace and charts opened and everything looked normal, except that the Reload Historical Data was grayed out in the menu. The charts all seem to be running fine. Yesterday I added the instrument ES 03-11 and opened a new volume based chart for that instrument using my usual settings for Data Series. When the chart opened, there was a single bar with no historical data, and no available Reload Historical Data. I did not leave that chart open very long, and tried a new one with the same result, so i closed it.
Today I started the volume based chart again, with the same result- A single bar.. no historical data, and no Reload available. The chart appears to be running as it should with the incoming data. I later started a time based chart. When I do this is see bars for all of the time that my volume chart was running, but still no Reload Historical Data available. It looks like the chart is getting filled with locally stored data, and nothing else.
What happened to the historical data?
