Ninja 7 Charting / Backtesting issue

[ariliveitup]

I am trying to run a backtest on Ninja 7. I cannot use Ninja 6 because of the lack of functionality such as SubmitOrder, ChangeOrder etc - i.e Manual control of orders.

However after downloading the data from TradeStation for ES - I see that the data has been downloaded for the last 3 years. However, there are 2 issues
1. Charting cannot plot any of the old data
2. Backtesting does not work either. My results are all 0.

I have plotted the downloaded tradestation data in Excel and made sure that it is all clean with no errors.

Can you please suggest some solutions.

Please help

ariliveitup,

This may be happening because you are using some of the auto merging features when your data set is already all inclusive. Please try either importing the data into ES ##-## and use the continuous contract for it or try switching your merge policy to DoNotMerge in the Tools>Options>Data menu.

As far as why your strategy is not trading, please check your Control Center logs for errors.
