Unable to Connect/Download Replay Data

[wood47]

Experiencing a host of issues the last few days. I am currently working in Japan and everything seemed to be fine. However, when I tried to download Replay data, I began getting the error message:

"Error on downloading replay data: Connection to data server is busy or not available".

Now I'm unable to make a connection with CQG, in conjunction with the replay error. I get one of three errors:

"Login failed : Failed to receive login message response from SecBuf"
"Login failed : Failed to receive line time update response from data server during login"
or
"CQG.Trader.DataAccess.SessionManager.InstrumentMe tadataNotAvailableException' was throw".

I've created new connections, deactivated my firewall, restarted the modem, restarted the program/computer, uninstalled NT and reinstalled to make sure I had the latest software and nothing seems to make a difference.

Any new ideas? About to throw my computer against a wall.

In addition, what kind of internet connection do you use? Do you have access to another internet connection to test?

Jason,

Thanks for the quick response, sent.

I'm currently on a wifi connection in a hotel but it's worked here before for replay data. It started a few days ago on a hard wired cable connection and I haven't been able to connect since.

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

I suspect the hotel connection is blocking it, maybe they changed something a few days ago? I have experienced this myself with NinjaTrader in hotels. Are you able to test a different internet connection?

[wood47]

Unfortunately, not right now but maybe tomorrow.

Is there any other way to download replay data? I would use historical data I had previously but it was all deleted when I reinstalled the program.

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

Unfortunately not, you can only download or record Market Replay data. To record Market Relay data, you will need to connect to a data feed (like CQG). Subsequently all realtime data you receive will be recorded as long as 'Run market replay recorder' is enabled at Control Center-->Tools-->Options-->Data-tab.

Hi support, since the whole weekend I get this message in the logfile when I want to downloading replay data for NQ:

Unable to connect to NinjaTrader data server (DS2.NinjaTrader.com/31654): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 208.48.16.140:31654

Any solution?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

This indicates that your system is unable to reach NinjaTrader's Market Replay servers. Since those servers are running normally I would recommend that you restart your PC, modem and router then try the download again.

Replay downlaod issues

Hello,

I, too, am having a problem with this function. I have tried to re-start both my computer and router to no avail. In my Default Instrument Manager, I have the following instruments loaded:

TF (7/14), NQ (7/14), YM(7/14) and CL(8/14).

When I try to download replay data, I receive one of two error messages depending whether I select Default or Future in the Download Replay Data Dialog Box:

"Error downloading replay data: Connection to data server is busy or not available right now. Please try later".

or,

"You need to select a valid instrument in order to replay data".

I have also tried to disable the firewall on my comuter but still receive the same error messages.

Please advise.

Hello,

It appears that your contract codes are incorrect. There are not July contracts of products like TF, NQ or YM. Each of these symbols has only four yearly contracts and is currently trading on the 09-14 contract.

Market Replay

My Mistake, but, I cannot download any of the Market Replay data from the 9/14 contracts either. I still receive the same error message.
