Where Are Chart Files Stored?

[absorrel4]

New to NinjaTrader....I have started my futures charts updating on my home desktop computer, and I want to copy the files and place them in my laptop Ninjatrader for analysis when I am away from home. Where does Ninjatrader put the chart files?

Hello absorrel4,

Thank you for your post.

The data files are located in the “db” in the (My) Documents > NinjaTrader 6.5 (or 7) > db.

In order to move your NinjaTrader settings from one PC to another, you will want to create a backup on the 1st PC, transfer the backup file to the laptop, & then run the NinjaTrader restore utility. Please see the following steps for completing this process:

Creating a backup archive:
1. Disconnect from all connectivity providers (if connected) and from within the Control Center window select the menu File > Utilities > Backup...
2. The "Backup NinjaTrader" dialog window will appear
3. Select the items you wish to back up
4. Press the "Run Backup" button

You will transfer this backup file to your laptop and then run the NinjaTrader restore utility. (You can transfer this file with a flash/jump drive)

To restore a backup archive:
1. From within the Control Center window select the menu File > Utilities > Restore...
2. Select the backup archive to restore from the "Restore" file dialog window
3. Press the "Open" button
