allen101,

Can you please tell me which version of NinjaTrader you are using, NT V7.0.1000.8? You can check this under Help--> About.

Are you receiving any errors on the screen? Any errors on the Log tab of the Control Center?

Can you load other symbols for the Daily interval?

Can you load a minute chart for AAPL?

i'm using NT 7.0 no data is loading for any symbol, only end of day if I close iqFeed and connect with kenetic

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

Sorry what specific build of NT V7.0 are you using? It should say NT V7.0.1000.x

NT V7.0.1000.8 is the current release.

[d.allen101]

it's cool. i reloaded NT and everything is fine. sorry for not trouble shooting before contacting you.

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

No worries and I'm happy it's working.

If you see this again please update this thread.

in order to add stocks to an indicator or strategy do they have to added to the instrument manager?

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

Yes, they must first exist in the database before you can call them in an indicator or strategy.

one other thing, if i Add("ABC", PeriodType.Minute, 1), Add("XYZ", PeriodType.Minute, 3), Add("RST", PeriodType.Minute, 10) all three of these symbols with their time corresponding time frame data will be within the OnBarUpdate() regardless of the 'base instrument' time frame right?

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

Correct - since you are explicitly calling the PeriodType.value it will use the period you specified rather than the base instrument time frame.

hey, i created a method - void addSymbols(){Add("XYZ", PeriodType.Minute, 1) Add("RST", PeroidType.Minute, 10), etc...} add placed within the Initialize() method but it seems to blocking the Initialize method. is there a certain number of symbols I allowed to add?

also, even though I specified different time periods for each symbol via the Add() method that doesn't make a difference as far as pulling data for various symbol with different time frames within the OnBarUpdate() method?

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

Hello,

Unfortunately this is beyond the level we can provide support for and I would not be able to assist. However another forum member with experience may be able to assist.

I'm not aware of any limit in the number of symbols you add through Initialize.

No, that should not make a difference in how the data is being pulled by on bar update.
