Questions

[JackK]

I have a couple of questions I would like clarification on:

1. When downloading historical data, does NinjaTrader automatically download the data from whatever data provider you're connected to ? i.e. I'm connected to an FXCM live account connection, when I go into Tools > Historical Data > Load > Download and then download forex pair data from there, while my NinjaTrader is connected to my FXCM live account, will it be FXCM data that gets downloaded ?

2. Is there a way to take the indicator parameter text off my chart screen ? i.e. make it invisible ? Its kind of cluttering my chart a bit and making it so that I cannot see the date range in the top left corner of the screen.

When you setup your FXCM connection, is the 'NinjaTrader historical data server' checked or unchecked?

I think a deeper answer, whether the historical data is downloaded from NT8 servers or FXCM servers,
first depends on that checkbox.

Yes.

Right click in the chart and select 'Indicators'.

For each indicator who's label you wish to hide, goto that indicator's
parameter settings (aka, property grid) and delete the text string in
the 'Label' field in the 'Setup' section, then click the Apply button.

Thanks for the answers, so if I have the 'NinjaTrader historical data server' unchecked it will use the FXCM data if I'm connected to my live FXCM account yes ?

Hello JackK,

Thank you for your post.

Glad to assist. That is correct, when unchecked, the data will be loaded via the FXCM historical data servers.

To remove the chart text, please right click on the chart > select Indicators.

Each plotted indicator will list in the lower left of this window. Select an indicator > remove the text entered for the "Label" field to the right. Repeat the process for each plotted indicator > press OK.

Let us know if we may assist further.

#OP - if you want to stop the text in any indicator, delete as described then Save the indicator’s template. If you Save as Default each time you add the indicator to a chart in future, there will be no annoying & distracting text writing ‘War & Peace’ across your valuable screen real estate.
