I am experiencing problem with NT8 not updating any intraday charts that relies on continuum for data. The daily chart and the market analyzer of the same instrument would have no problem updating. But the intraday charts would all appear to be frozen, with data only up to the last time I started NT8.
This happens basically very time I start up NT8 but especially when there is a significant amount of historical data that need to be backfilled by continuum. As you can see from the screenshots above, I have Kinetick EOD and continuum connected. And if you looked at the price of the CL tick chart vs the daily and the market analyzer, you can see that it's stuck and not updating real time.
Looking at the trace file, it seems that ninjatrader had only ever requested bars for the daily charts but not any intraday or tick charts. And I believe the daily data were updated only because I had connected to Kinetick EOD first. For all the intraday and tick charts, I did not see any "loading.." notifications on the charts' top left corner (or go blank as in NT7 when it's refreshing data).
So I think the reason the intraday and tick charts are not updating is because NT8 is waiting for the historical backfill data to come in first before showing the real time data. But since the historical is never requested in the first place, all the charts are therefore stuck with only old data and never updated.
And the only way to get around this is to manually reload all the intraday and tick charts. Once I've done the manual update, the chart would start to update with real time data again.
And since I've left all the market data settings as default, I believe this might be a problem with the continuum connection itself. Please see the attachments for my workspace and market data setting. Thanks.
