Daily Charts

[shali27]

Hello,

I am new to Ninja Trader, and am having some problems with daily charts. All I can get is today's bar. How do I populate the chart with historical data for a complete chart?

I'm also having a lot of trouble with NT "not responding". Not sure what's causing this but it could be a real problem when I go live it it's not resolved.

Thanks

Hello shali27,

Can you please tell me to what data feed provider you connect. Most likely you connect to a data feed that ddoes not support historical daily data. You can verify at the link below.

If you experience slowness of the software, please reduce resource request and check if this will make a difference.

Check if you are running workspaces in the background (these will request data & resources as well) and close them. Can you please restart NinjaTrader and go to File-->Workspaces and check what workspaces are listed below 'Save Workspace As'. The workspace with the checkmark is the workspace opened on your monitor. Any additional workspaces listed, are opened in the background.

Select a workspace without a checkmark and subsequently go to File-->Workspaces-->Close Workspace. Repeat this process until only one workspace is opened.

Close some charts, SuperDOM's or other NinjaTrader windows. Reduce the amount of indicators in your chart or set 'Calculate on bar close' to True. Reduce the amount of historical data in your charts by configuring the Format Data Series window.

Hi Jason,

I'm using Zen-Fire. It's a demo version of NT until my account is funded. Not sure if that would make a difference.

Unfortunately Zen-Fire does not support historical daily data, so this is as expected.

How do I reduce resource request?

It seems the problem may be the tick chart, even though I only have three days of data.

I listed suggestions to reduce resource request in post #2. See below.

Check if you are running workspaces in the background (these will request data & resources as well) and close them. Can you please restart NinjaTrader and go to File-->Workspaces and check what workspaces are listed below 'Save Workspace As'. The workspace with the checkmark is the workspace opened on your monitor. Any additional workspaces listed, are opened in the background.

Select a workspace without a checkmark and subsequently go to File-->Workspaces-->Close Workspace. Repeat this process until only one workspace is opened.
