Any way to merge historical order details (I trade from two different computers)

[mbrownlius]

I have a lifetime license, trade using Zenfire, and have Ninjatrader installed on two pc's. I trade from both depending on situation. It seems that the order data used in account analysis is only for orders placed on that computer.

I would like to import or merge my historical order details from my secondary pc (laptop) onto my main pc so I get a real analysis of my account performance.

Is there any way to do this?

mbrownlius,


Thank you for your post

Your historical data is stored locally on your PC. In addition, all of your indicators, templates, charts and NinjaTrader settings are saved locally on your PC.

If you would like to migrate your local database from your first PC to another, you can utilize our built in back up and restore method:

After you have made a backup of your NT database, you can copy the backup file to your other computer and then follow the instructions to restore the backup on the new PC:

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

I have used the backup/restore to move my indicators and such. But in this case, won't a restore blow away everything already stored locally??

I guess this is why I am looking to "merge" my order data - some trades made on each computer.

mbrownlius,

Restoring the backup file will not overwrite any of your current information.

This will merge the backup information to your current files.
