Avoid/Optimize data check

[dotnetfreak]

Im coding an indicator to calculate individual currency strength.

I need to add 28 instruments to be able to calculate the strength of the 8 majors.

The problem is, each time I add the indicator, ninjatrader checks if data is present, I see "Loading data" in status bar for 28 pairs, even when the market is closed, so it takes some time to load.

Is there a way to skip the data checking part?

Hello dotnetfreak,

Thank you for your note.

You could add the following to ensure the indicator only processes on real-time data:

if(Historical)
return;

For information on Historical please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...historical.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thanks for your reply, however, I tried putting the line in my code and now it only displays the last bar.

What I need is the inverse, I want to only look at historical data and not try to pull current data.

I tried to set End date to a previous date in data series so it does not try to load new data and I still see the message loading data for each pair in Status bar.

dotnetfreak, so you're concerned about the loading time here? To minimize that you could add the pairs to a Market Analyzer window and ensure an indicator would be applied to historical bar data requests are triggered. When you now work with the same set of symbols on your chart > the loading times should be speeded up.
