Hello Emma1,

Thank you for the post.

What instrument (and expiry if applicable) have you selected on your chart?

I look forward to assisting further.

its the MzPack indicators.

Hello Emma1,

Thank you for the reply.

I need to know what expiry date you have selected for the instrument on your chart, not an indicator. An example of a futures instrument would be ES 09-17 or CL 08-17.

I look forward to assisting further.

Hello Emma1,

Thank you for the reply.

This is an old contract expiry the current contract the 6E is trading on is the 09-17 contract, please roll over your instruments with these instructions:

1.From within the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools> Instrument Manager

2.Highlight the contract you wish to rollover on the left side of the Instrument Manager window

3.Press the '>' button (the instrument will disappear from the list)

4.Press the '<' button and the instrument should re-appear with the front-month expiration date

5.Select 'OK'

6.Select the updated contract in the Instrument drop-down menu within your currently opened windows (Charts, SuperDOMs, etc).

I have provided a link below to our Help Guide that goes over rolling over a futures contract.

Trendlines

Hello,I am wondering if it is possible to access detection of Trendlines distances that can be measured by price and points) NT8 and NT7.
secondly, i am having problem in NT8, getting bars on chart and also display of complied Indicators or drawing tools, not showing on chart.
kindly help.

Hello Emma1,

Thanks for the note.

For your first question, a custom indicator would need to be created to do that. There is a ruler drawing tool in the platform. There is also a Risk/Reward drawing tool, to automate these measurements a custom indicator would need to be created to do so.

On your second question, please answer the following questions:

What version of NinjaTrader are you using? Please provide the entire version number. This can be found under Help -> About (Example: 8.0.X.X)

Who are you connected to? This is displayed in green on the lower left corner of the Control Center window.

What instrument (and expiry if applicable) have you selected?

Do you receive an error on screen? Are there errors on the Log tab of the Control Center? If so, what do these errors report?

I look forward to assisting further.

Hello Emma1,

Thanks for the reply.

The correct contract to use would be the 6B 09-18. Also, the Kinetick EOD connection will only load daily, monthly, or yearly data.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Emma1,
Always make sure you check those updates! And if you don't want to, update them automatically!!
Control Center > Tools > Database Management > Update Instruments > Future Expiries > Update.

Kinetick will give more than just the current/previous day sessions?

[NinjaTrader_ChrisL]

Hello SBMT17,

Through my testing, I found that is is only possible to pull daily data and above for the Kinetick EOD connection.
