There are tutorials on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMnj2tg9w_8

Basically you have to either record your own data, or download common data via the download tool.

Then connect to replay.

Then use the playback controller to speed things up. NT7 goes to 500x, NT8 goes to 1000x and "MAX".

Withover 2 years of ES data, I have seen 30 hours (NT7/500x) compressed into 3 hours (NT8/MAX).

Hello,
Sledge is correct in his instructions on market replay.
I have provided a link below to our YouTube that goes over Market Replay.

To set up Market Replay you will first need to have data for Market Replay.

There are 2 ways of getting market data for Market Replay

Record live market data To do this you will need to enable the Market Replay Recorder by going to Tools> Options> Data check Record for market replay and select OK Now data will be recorded for any instrument in any NinjaTrader window that is receiving live market data. Level II (market depth) data is only recorded if a Level II, SuperDOM, or FX Pro window is open and receiving data for the instrument. The Market Analyzer window is the recommended recording window as multiple instruments can be added to one Market Analyzer window and all recorded at the same time.

Download replay data from the NinjaTrader server NinjaTrader offers a limited amount of replay data free to download. Only the most common instruments are currently available.

Notes:

Record for market replay must be disabled from the Data tab of the Options menu before downloading replay data.
NOT available when connected to the Market Replay connection.
To download replay data:

Select the File menu in the Control Center, select the menu item Utilities and select Download Replay Data... The Download Replay Data window appears.
Select the instrument and date of the desired replay data and press the OK button to begin the download.
To start Market Replay first disconnect from any other connections. Connect to the Market replay by going to File> Connect> Market Replay

Select the time frame for the Market Replay Data you would like to view. NinjaTrader windows will only display data for instruments and times you have data available.

You can check what data you have available by right clicking on the Market Replay control and selecting Available data. Data will only be displayed within the selected time frame.
