MB Trading - Troubleshooting

[Indtrader]

Hi

I've been able to make a successful connection to MB Trading (Demo) from my NT7. The MB Trading Navigator also appears in NT and is giving me live data. However, I'm having a problem with my Charts - I would like to see forex charts (with historical data from MB Trading) in Ninjatrader, but for some reason I'm not able to despite the successful Connection. Perhaps the instruments are incompatible? I've tried playing around with the Instrument manager too, but with no success. Can you please help me with this?

Thanks

Hello Indtrader,

Thank you for your post.

From the Control Center, please click Tools and select Instrument Manager.
What options are available to you in the Type drop-down menu?

[Indtrader]

Hey Kyle

Options are: Currency, Future, Index, Stock.

[NinjaTrader_Kyle]

Indtrader,

You should have access to forex instruments then.

Please try loading a new chart of a common pair like $EURUSD - do you see any data at all loading?

Tick Data

I'm having the same problem, only difference is i can get minute based charts to load but no tick data for range bars past one day?? I went to account connection setup and noticed there is no option to use NT historical data for MB Trading accounts, only MB Trading servers and an option to disable and use another account for historical data, why is this??

[NinjaTrader_VinceB]

Hi,

Historical Tick data isn't provided to us. See here what MBT provides to us:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/historical_data.htm

Check under the section 'Understanding the data provided by your connectivity provider'.

We don't record MBT data, therefore there is nothing available on our server for us to provide as an option to enable.

What providers does NT record data for? if I cannot create a chart and have enough data for my indicators to plot correctly what's the use? I had planned on using MBT for my live trades as I have used them in the past, What would be my options?

[NinjaTrader_Kyle]

Hi bulegila,

1.) NinjaTrader provides historical data with the following data connections:

• GAIN
• Trading Technologies
• Zen-Fire
• Vision Financial Markets

2.) If you're looking for a secondary data provider, you do have several options including:

• Kinetick
• BarChart
• eSignal
• DTN.IQ

Excuse me, let's return to the matter of the qestion: MBT provides historical tick data (http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...rical_data.htm).

So, why we can't load historical tick, second, range forex charts?

In Desember 2010 this charts loaded ussualy, some times didn't loaded.
In 2011 MBT historical tick, second, range forex charts are not loaded at all.

Hello fx.practic,

If I recall correctly, MBTrading only supports 1-2 days of historical tick data. So if you request more historical tick data, it will not be loaded. I suggest to contact MBTrading for clarification what historical data you can load as per your MBTrading connection.

[fx.practic]

Ok, thank You.

Can You please, tell me, where can I open account to have 20-30 days of tick and minute fx historical data?

I find only MBT and TradeStation. (I have live account in MBT now, but...)

[NinjaTrader_Kyle]

Hello fx.practic,

BarChart, eSignal, DTN.IQ and Kinetick would be your best bet for this amount of tick and minute data.

I have the exact same problem Msushi but only when loading range charts.

This has only happened since the first of the year for me.

I can download a minute chart of MBTrading data but when I try to change the chart to a range bar chart it shows the same error message and starts the live range bars one at a time.

I also sent you an email Kyle with the info you requested. Thanks for any help.
