bug, wrong timestamp for external executions

[zweistein]

When you place executions outside of NinjaTrader and while NinjaTrader is closed then these executions are imported with wrong timestamp in NinjaTrader.
At startup NinjaTrader gives those external executions the timestamp of the startup - time and not the time that these executions occurred on the echange.

This will inevitably lead to a messed up data base, because the execution prices will sometimes be not possible for the execution time in the database.
This will lead to corrupted databases in the long run.

The same error existed in NT6.5

Please explain your motivation of doing your own timestamping for executions in above described scenarios.

Hello Andreas,

Thank you for your feedback.

What you describe here is not a bug but a limitation. NinjaTrader 6.5 and 7 will list executions which occur while NinjaTrader is offline with the time they are received which should be the time of connection.

A change here is on development's list of future considerations for the software, but there is no ETA for that change currently.
