data from cache

[blar58]

Hello,



A client has had me build an indicator that requires the use of Bid data and Ask data to determine if each tick was generated as a Buy or a Sell. To do this I am loading additional timeframes to the indicator in NT7, 1 tick Bid, 1 tick Ask and 1 tick Last timeframes.
As the live data comes in, the latest Bid and Ask prices get remembered, and as a Last tick arrives, the price is compared to these. So far so good.
The problem is, Ninja is supposed to remember all these ticks in its cache, but I find that Ninja remembers a lot less data than actually comes in. On reloading the indicator on the historical bars, and getting the data from cache, the results are quite different.


Do you have a solution ?




Thanks

blar58,

You need to actually check "store real-time data" if you want it to store it into the data repository. Otherwise, the historical bid/ask data is just whatever your data provider offers. Many providers do not offer any or only a limited set.
