Hi, I have used the Strategy Wizard to develop a strategy. However, when I go to the chart I want the Strategy icon is grayed out. The market is not open right now. Is that why the button is grayed out? How can I fix this?

Thanks for the help.

Hello pjwinner,

This would be one of 3 things. Either Chart Trader is open, no data feed is connected, or you are using a Direct Edition license which does not allow for automated trading.

Are you connected to a data feed?

Is Chart Trader enabled on the chart?

(Do not post your license key or any other personal information on the forums)

How do you connect to a data feed

Hello ethan278,

You would need a username and password with a supported broker or data feed, and then enter these into an account connection and then connect to the account connection.

Below is a public link to the connection guides for NinjaTrader.

https://ninjatrader.com/Help-Connection-Guides

If you do not have a funded brokerage account or a paid subscription to a data feed, the NinjaTrader Brokerage does offer a free 14-day demo that provides real-time and historical future data from the live market using the NinjaTrader Continuum connection and 30-day demo that provides real-time and historical forex data from the live market using the NinjaTrader FXCM connection.

When downloading NinjaTrader if you have clicked yes to live future data and filled out the form with your email address, a username and password will be auto-generated (by an automated system) and emailed to you from the email address [email protected].

All links below are publicly available.

Below I am including a link to the connection guide with steps to enter this username and password into NinjaTrader. (Be sure to check the Demo box)

(updated)
You may apply for one 14-day demo in a 365 day period. On the 2nd request within 365 days, an email will be generated that lets you know you have exceeded the demo allowance.
If you have not signed up for the demo, or would like to apply for a second, you may do so from the link below.

For a FXCM demo providing forex data, follow the same link to the demo signup page.
Select Forex as the Asset class.
