thank you, Philip

Philip,

On forums they say, don't shout (i.e. don't use all caps).

Oh, well...

THANK YOU!!!

Philip/all,

I was able to download and playback some YM files.

Is there a reason that volume (the simple "VOL" indicator) doesn't start plotting until 20 bars later? I set my chart properties to 8:30am to 3:15pm local time, use 1-min chart, and volume only starts plotting on the 8:50am bar... Same with Woodies CCI indicator, and probably others, but I don't use others.

Thank you,
Bert

there is a setting in options how many bars for indicators to start "indicating" default is 20 bars a believe, so if u are looking at minute charts is would be 20 minutes. check in the options.

Is there a way to move the files somewhere else than My Documents? I'd like to store them elsewhere. I can't seem to find an option within Ninja Trader to point the market replay data to a different folder.

Thanks in advance

I don't think that is an option at this time. It has to go into the daily folder structure.

The only thing I found was "Wait for Data" under the "Simulator" tab. I made that "0" but I still have the same problem: indicators don't start plotting until 20 bars later. Please help.

Also, is there a way to get the previous day's activity to show in Market Replay? For example, I am playing back 12/05/07, but even though I have Market Replay data for the previous two days, I can't see it in the chart (days back is the default 15). I even tried to play 12/04/07 first, but still, when I play 12/05/07, no data from 12/04/05 shows. Any ideas?

Thank you,
Bert

Hmm. It should show previous days data automatically. Please try reloading your database's historical data. Also ensure you have the data for the time interval you are charting (e.g. tick, min, daily).

Loading data?

I have uploaded a few months of YM and ER and they are available for downloading. I will add a few more things later. Feel free to upload any instrument replay files not already on the site. Feedback/suggestions welcome.

First, I have to thank you for providing the data. It is well appreciated. However, I am having problems with importing them into NT. There is a message saying that "this instrument is not supported by repository." I learned that NT loads only txt. file data. Is there a way to import these files into NT?
Thanks for answering.

Hi,

The name of the text file needs to be the same as the instrument name in NinjaTrader. For example, if you have data for the ES 06-08, make sure the file name is "ES 06-08", since it is the same as the instrument name in NinjaTrader.

Koztars,

You'll need to extract the zip replay files into your db/data directory, not import them.

I have already done that before, but all I get is empty chart. It looks like it loads something, but with no visible result. Maybe the problems is in the data, it is broken by day, that might be the cause.
Write your suggestions, please.

There is an example of the Daily data format under this link if you would like to compare.

Koztars,

Couple things:
Verify you have the replay files in the day folder you are trying to load.
Make sure you have the right contract month selected.
