Hello bradc343,
Who are you connected to for data? (This is indicated in green in the lower left corner of the Control Center)
What instrument are you testing? (Please include the expiry contract month if a future)
Do you see any bars of data appearing on the Chart tab of the Strategy Analyzer backtest results?Chelsea B.NinjaTrader Customer Service -
Hello bradc343,
The Kinetick End of Day (Free) connection does not provide real-time data and does not provide intra-day data such as minute or tick data. This connection provides end of day data only (daily bars).
In the backtest parameters if you set the Type to Day, and then test over a period of a month or more, are you receiving results?
If you would like intra-day data you will need to subscribe to a data provider such as Kinetick or IQFeed or connect to a a brokerage account that provides data.
Below is a link to the help guide on Historical & Real-Time Data. In the section 'Understanding the data provided by your connectivity provider' there is a chart that show the supported connection technologies and the types of data these connections support.
Last, here is a link to our Connections Guide which will have instructions to setup the provider in NinjaTrader (scroll to the bottom).
