Cannot get Globex NG data

[david.brewster]

I'm testing the NT with Zen-Fire demo (through Mirus). I can get NG (Natural gas on NYMEX) regular-hour data. However, there is no after-hour NG data (on Globex). Does Zen-Fire have the after-hour NG data? Or is this a setup problem with NT? Thanks.

Hello david

Thank you for your post.

For the example you detailed, you may want to check out the 27/5 or 24/7 session template. The Session Manager is another new feature in NinjaTrader 7.
You can adjust this setting right-clicking on the chart & selecting “Data Series…”

Please see the following on more info about the session manager:

Let me know if I can answer any additional questions.

Thanks, Chip. I've changed the session template to 24/7 and that solved the problem. I can get data for NG even now (~Est 12am).

However I've got another issue. First I opened NG03-11(March 2011). Then I closed it and open a new chart with NG02-11(Feb 2011). And NG02 historic data is exactly the same as NG03! With the realtime feed, we can see a clear jump in NG02's most recent data. So realtime data for NG02 is correct. But for some reason, NT is using NG03's historic data as NG02's historic data. Please help.

Hello David,

When you go to Tools > Options > Data tab > what option do you currently have selected in Merge Policy?

[david.brewster]

I use the "MergeBackAdjusted" option

Hi david.brewster,

Thanks for checking that setting

Changing the merge policy over to 'DoNotMerge' should correct this particular issue. For more information about merge policies and their impact on your charts, please see the following link to our Help Guide: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...rical_data.htm
