I am trying to set up Nt8 so that it doesn't save any live data as historic data at all, so that when I start NT8 I am always either pulling historic data from my data provider or using my verified and imported history files. I want to do this to ensure that there is no data contamination. Currently this is not working as expected
In terms of market data settings, everything is unchecked except, "get data from server" and "Show tick replay".
Before every NT8 re-start, I delete the My Documents>NT8> Cache and My Documents>Nt8>db>cache.
Despite this, NT8 is still saving live data to the historic data folders and when I start NT8 there is historic data saved from the previous session(s).When I go to the historic folder now for example, My Documents>Nt8>db>Tick>EURUSD, I can see NCD files in there for last weeks data, with a modified data of last week. So these files were written to the historic folder last week and have not updated or been removed.
Please advise why this is happening and how I can stop NT8 saving live data as historic.
