NT8 slows in loading data...

[ssg10]

How can I just reset the database and delete all data? Will that help to fix the slow loading chart time?

Hello ssg10,


I have included steps to delete the historical data, cache, and rename your database. This may help to load your charts faster.


Please delete your historical data using the instructions provided at the following page of the NinjaTrader Help Guide:
Removing Historical Data

• Once the data has been deleted close NinjaTrader. Open the Documents\NinjaTrader 8\db\cache folder. Select all files then right mouse click and select “delete.”
• Open NinjaTrader and connect to your data provider. Open an new chart.

To delete the cache, follow the steps below.

• Shut down NinjaTrader.
• Open the Documents > NinjaTrader 8 > db folder.
• Delete the sub-folder named 'cache'.
• Restart NinjaTrader

Please rename your database with the following steps :

• Shutdown NinjaTrader and Go to the Start Menu
• Select My Documents--> NinjaTrader 8--> DB--> NinjaTrader.SDF.
• Right click on NinjaTrader.SDF and select "Rename." *Name it "OLDNinjaTrader.SDF."
• Then restart the software and NinjaTrader will create a fresh database file to use
• Unfortunately the following items stored in the old database will be lost - Session templates, Instrument Lists / Custom Instruments, historical trade execution data, saved Strategy Analyzer backtest results

To prevent running into situations where you can potentially lose important data, we advise to run regular backups via our inbuild backup feature in NinjaTrader - http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...up_archive.htm

Is this step for NT7 or NT8?

Hello ssg10,

I have modified my previous post to reflect steps for NinjaTrader 8.
