Possible to use NinjaTrader 8 replay data in NinjaTrader 7?

[lightsun47]

Hello,

I only have replay data available for NT8, but I was wondering if there is any way to playback in NT7 instead.

Thank you.

Hello lightsun47,

Thank you very much for your post.

NinjaTrader 7 would only be able to use market replay data that has been downloaded through NinjaTrader 7 directly.

This option may be found under File > Utilities > Download Replay Data.

Once downloaded, you will then be able to replay this data in NinjaTrader 7.

Further information may also be found in our HelpGuide below:

Please don't hesitate to let me know, should you have any further questions!

Thanks.

Now the replay data I am looking for is only available for NinjaTrader 8.

Is it possible to convert these data files to use them in NinjaTrader 7?

Thanks.

Hello lightsun47,

Thank you very much for your reply.

To my knowledge, it would not be possible to convert these files as NinjaTrader 8 updated the market replay files it uses, which would require manual modifications to still make them capable in NinjaTrader 7.

Please don't hesitate to let me know, should you have any further questions!
