CAN'T GET ANYTHING TO PLOT

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

To clarify, was data downloaded from NinjaTrader servers via the File > Utilities > Download Replay Data menu or through a third-party service like MarketReplayData.com?

username/password not need for market replay. You can use a free @SIM key...

So what instrument did you download? Which days?


Did you hit PLAY?

You need historical data to backfill anything on the chart.. if you don't have that, you'll see NOTHING.

So hit PLAY and get your dates straight... if still an issue - post an image to the forum to help NT_SUPPORT..

Data was downloaded from MarketReplayData.com and stored in a special folder for NT to read. Also tried downloading the Market Replay files (on my computer) using the historical data manager but got an error: Import field separator could not be located.

Just trying to get the market replay data to plot

Hello,

Thank you for clarifying.

Which date and instrument are you trying to play back? (For example, ES 06-16 data for 4/24/2016)

If you right click in the Market Replay control window and select Available Data, what Level I begin and end times are shown for this instrument and date?

downloaded ES 06-16 from market Replay Data with particular focus on 4/18 to 4/22. But there is no intuitive or obvious mechanism within NT to say... okay let's plot this data and begin working with it.
Instead I had to make a new chart and enter in the default ES 03-16 which doesn't make any sense. If you right click on the new chart there is now way to tell NT that you want to plot MarketReplayData as opposed to other sources of data.

Right clicking the replay window shows that 4/18/2016 to 4/22/2016 are in the queue. Now if I could just plot it.

It's not needed. You have to hit Play to get MarketReplay to process any data.

If you have Historical Data - the chart will fill in (up to your replay start date), then you can process replay data...

It's been that way forever...

NT8 does have some tick replay of market data to get you to your starting point - but you have to have the replay data...


----------

I haven't run a replay off a live key in a long time - but I think it should backfill historical data if your provider has it.... assuming you're not trying to load tick data when your provider only has minute data...
