set up Gain demo data feed on Ninja

[aediaz1]

Did you remove and add the modified instrument to your instrument list in the Instrument Manager?

When you traded the same instrument using an increased point value by 5 zero's, it did not deduct the cash value differently than before?

I simply found gbpusd in that list, edit and added those values like you told me to.

I think it moved . one step to the left, thats it. Still, those values are wrong.

I talked to another trader who have NT facing the same problem as I. So everyone who installs NT and want to demo, will (as I see it) run into this problem. Is this a huge slip from NT ?

I have spent hours on this quite ridiculous problem and I hope you guys agree on the term.

Unfortunately you will need to test yourself and check what values work best for you. The sim101 account settings are a grey area of the software.

Grey areas? It doesn't work at all! And as far as I understand almost every NT user have this problem. I'm astonished by this problem and how easily you guys take it.

NT have a limit on numbers of zero's allowed on instrument tab. I cannot add 5 zeros on gbpusd, I can only add two.

So I guess there is nothing more I can do than change back to my old platform?

Unfortunately it seems it is not possible to use the workaround by modifying the point value to reflect cash value deductions as you expect as per the GBPUSD.

Are you unable to submit orders to the sim101 account at all, since you state it does not work at all?

You can also generate performance reports under the Account performance-tab to analyze your simulation trading by clicking the Advanced-button and enabling the sim101 account only. Subsequently generate a new report.

Hello kissaki,

Thank you for your post.

Gain provides historical data in tick and minute intervals 24 hours back only.
If more data is required, you will need to connect to a different provider.

For a complete listing of the types of data each provider offers, please see the following link: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...HistoricalData

Metatrader data can be imported into Ninja trader to give some history.

Depending on the pairs you require you can also go to Fin Rus export page and download a lot of history for some pairs.

A third alternative is to use 1440 minute bars in Ninja trader
