A few issues with Market Replay

[jjanguda]

Hi,

First of all, I'm new to ninjatrader and
can't figure this out all by myself.
Hope I would get some answers from experienced fellow traders.


Question 1 - Contract Rollover Date
I need a clear understanding about rollover date when downloading data.
From contract months under Misc tab, I can find a rollever date.
For example, ES 03-16 contract's rollever date is 12/10/2015 and ES 06-16 is 3/10/2016.

This means ES 03-16 contract covers data from 12/10/2015 to 3/09/2016?
Or it starts from 12/11/2015 (one day after rollover date)?

According to the youtube video provided by Ninjatrader, an instructor mentioned that
traders should select the correct date and correct contract month.



Question 2 - Downloaded data location
Once I download data for market replay, where will the file be saved in my hard drive?
Under library - documents - ninja trader 7 folder?



Question 3 - Day Time Saving
I used to trade Spot FX and experienced day time saving server time change.
This caused me to change a time setting manually (for example, Asian, London and NY Session Box)
Does Futures have the same influence when day time saving starts and ends?



I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hello jjanguda,

1. Correct, the 03-16 expiry month covers 12/10/2015 - 3/9/2016.

2. Market replay data is saved in the folder below.

Documents-->NinjaTrader 7-->db-->data

3. There is no such time setting in NinjaTrader. NinjaTrader uses the time zone of your PC clock. So if you PC clock changes due to daytime savings, NinjaTrader automatically changes as well.
