deleting false printed bars

[Nozem]

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to delete false candels in the chart. I use the IB data feed with volume bars. Sometimes a flat bar shows up (mostly in a row of at least three following bars and then the chart continues. Those bars are emty, meaning they have the same time-stamp as the last real volume bar and no actual volume. Any idea? Even better, is there a way to avoid this, without using another datafeed?

Thanks!

Hello Nozem,

Thank you for your post.

You can edit the data stored in NinjaTrader through the Historical Data Manager. You can open the Historical Data Manager by going to Tools > Historical Data Manager.

Information on editing Historical Data can be found at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...t7/editing.htm

It is also possible to filter the real-time data using filter offset in NinjaTrader. To adjust this setting please go to Tools > Options > Data > Filter bad ticks % off market.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

I don't think this is working for volume bars. The data that I can edit is 1minute data and that seems to be correct. It's just some flat lines in the volume chart. When I shut down ninja and open again, my IB data is gone (tick/range/volume), so that's not a real option. The same is probably the same when I reload the data in the historical data manager?

Hello Nozem,

Thank you for your response.

You are on the right track here. Interactive Brokers does not supply historical data for tick data (which is the underlying data type for Volume bars). So when you open the Historical Data Manager there most likely is no tick data saved for the instrument.

You can however, save the real-time data as historical data. To do this go to Tools > Options > Data > enable the option for Save chart data as historical > OK.
Now when you connect to Interactive Brokers, the tick data will be saved as historical data.

Well, changed that, reloaded and lost all data in the charts...

What is a good alternative for eurex and cme data without paying a fortune... I used esignal in the past, but actualy I don't think it's worth the $250,- I paid for it each month. Till now I ddnt have any issues with IB data, just make sure Ib is open, ninja is open and the PC is not shut down, and all dat was ok.

If I want data only for now, so not live trading through ninja, what datavendor could you suggest? Zenfire works with brokers, not IB.... Eignal, well I don't know... Need eurex and mini s&p...?

Patrick,

Can one trade live through ninja at Interactivebrokers, not using their but the kinetick datafeed?

Do you support live trading at Interactivebrokers for the FA/FF allocation accounts?

Thanks.

You can in fact connect to Kinetick for your data and then connect to Interactive Brokers second. Your data will be provided by Kinetick and your orders can be routed to Interactive Brokers.

For information on multiple connections please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...onnections.htm

NinjaTrader does support FA and FF, however the automated order allocation feature for the Friends and Family accounts that is available in TWS is not supported within NinjaTrader.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

[Nozem]

And the automated allocation for financial advisor accounts?

[NinjaTrader_PatrickH]

Hello Nozem,

Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately, order allocation is not supported for the FF and FA accounts.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

[Nozem]

Too bad! Anyway, I will look into kinetick.

To be honest, I like ninja and am happy to use it now for a couple of months. Sorry to hear it's not supporting the automatic allocation, as I am using FF accounts. Maybe someday?

Thanks for your time today and all quick replies!
