Market replay and testing

[Benluk]

I watched some youtube videos demonstrated by NT support on how to download and use market replay for practicing.

Questions:
1) The demonstrator has the screen showing market depth, times of sales, or level 2. My NT charting software is a free one. Does it mean I do not have those features? If I do, could you please advise me how to do that?

2) The control center - order page. Is this the only setup I can try simulated trading?

3) After I tried issuing buy/sell orders using this platform with market replay data, I found some records on my daily charts and my minute chart. Even I close the chart and re-open a new chart, the records are still there. How to remove those records from the charts?

3) Occasionally, I receive NT invitation to webinars to learn NT features. I am working full time and am not able to sign up. Are there videos or link I can go to revisit the lectures? I am more interested in simulated trades with market data.

Thank you.

Hello Benluk,

Thank you for your post.

1.) You do have access to these features in the free version of NinjaTrader. The windows can be created using the File > New menu.

2.) You may use any order entry window in the free version of NinjaTrader.

3.) Please follow the instructions below to disable the plotting of trade executions.

• Right click in your chart and select the menu "Data Series..."
• Find the "Plot executions" parameter for each data series and change the value to "DoNotPlot"
• Press the "OK" button

The information is very helpful.
The simulated trading is very useful.

Is there any videos or lectures on
1) dynamic and static superDOM
2) introduction to NT platform programming
3) how to interpret emini level II

Market replay testing with tick chart

When I use tick chart to test with market replay, the price bars are not displayed proportionally on the chart. If a minute has more activities, I see more price bars jammed in that minute. When a next minute has less activities, there are less price bars in that minute.

Is there a way that the price bars are displayed evenly on the chart?

Another question:

The tick chart I am using with market replay, is it about the same as Kinetick?

[NinjaTrader_JC]

Hello Benluk,

You may want to make sure that "Equidistant bar spacing" is set to true for your chart by right clicking inside of the chart, and select Properties to have the bars spaced out evenly. Note that if you have more than 1 Data Series on a chart you will not be able to enable this property.

Since, the Market replay is recorded from live data it will be similar to Kinetick yes.

Kinetick

Thank you for the response.

I am using IB as broker which does not supplied historical tick data. Kinetick may be a potential solution. I received an email from NT about Kinetick Advantage Webinar. I was not able to attend live session. It said that saving $304 monthly CME exchange fees by using Kinetick data.

I am using IB live feed data. I am not sure if I am paying $304 monthly fees. If I use Kinetick data, I know I can connect it to my free version of NT chart, but I will still use IB for trading. How does I benefit from $304 monthly exchange fees.

Please help me to understand.

Thank you.

[Benluk]

Please ignore my previous question. I found some old emails from Kinetick which explained.
Thank you.
