I've involved in a thread talking about external data feed. http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/vb/showthread.php?t=6412
I've realised that NT ignores the timestamp that the app is submitting through external data feed. In the case, NT cannot reflect the actual data/time from the incoming data and unable to reconstruct the chart.
Is there a way to ask NT to use the data/time from incoming data? If not, can this feature be added to the next version?
Now it takes me tens of month to test a trading strategy based on 4hr/1hr/15min multi-timeframe chart for real-time simulation trade. A lot of times is just waiting.
With this feature, I can shorten the testing time to weeks only. For example, I can load the historical data from 1Jan2001 to 31Dec2005 (5yrs historical data), then start feeding data from 1Jan2006 onward to simulate the test from 1Jan2006 onward.
