However, downloading trade data is still a real pain with NinjaTrader 8.
Attached is sample chart from today: Data for August 3 is missing. Data from August 9 and 10 is also missing. NinjaTrader is incapable of filling such gaps. I am often spending half an hour to feed the missing data into the data base by reloading charts for 30 to 40 instruments.
Today there was not a single instrument that did properly show. I believe that this time the problem was linked to the market analyzer. By mistake I had opened a market analyzer with an instrument list before updating my historical data. Now I have to reload charts manually for 30 instruments.
Another huge problem is that NinjaTrader regularly throws exeptions when I try to download data for an instrument list via the historical data manager The data adapter then freezes and I need to shut down and restart NinjaTrader before I may continue to download data. Checking the trace file tells me which instruments have possibly been correctly updated, and I need to load the other ones one by one, as downloading the entire instrument list throws exceptions.
Getting correct data is the first thing to do before trading and it should be much simpler.
