Historical Data Missing From Charts

[NinjaTrader_PatrickH]

Hello BottomShark77,

Thank you for your post.

So I may investigate this matter further please answer the following questions.

• What version of NinjaTrader are you using? You can check under Help -> About (Example: 7.0.1000.X)
  
• Who are you connected to? This is displayed by green on lower left corner of the Control Center window.
  
• What instrument(s) have you selected? If a futures instrument, what expiry is selected? (Example: ES 06-13)
  
• What interval is selected for your chart(s)? (Example: Tick, Minute, Day, etc.)
  
• What dates are missing data?
  
• Do you receive an error on screen? Are there errors on the Log tab of the Control Center? If so, what do these errors report?

I look forward to your response.

version 7.0.1000.16
Connected to CQG
Instrument: TF
Expiry 12-14
Intervals: seconds and minutes
Missing data: Monday 10/5/14 @23:51 to 6:52am when I logged in (was late getting up) :-(
No error on screen
Log error: The metadata for F.US.TFE.U14 has an invalid ContractNumber please contact Customer Support
(This error was when I just logged in and Monday morning also @ 6:52am) but I did just get backfill for today but yesterdays still has a gap in data mentioned above)

Also the "reload historical all data" was grayed out yesterday but now it is not. Hmm.

And of course I just got the backfill data I was looking for.

So apparently no problem at the moment. Will see about Tuesday morning.

Since everything was working this morning I haven't updated to the newest version yet. Perhaps I will do this later on tonight. I hope it doesn't override the work stations I already have? It kind of sounds like your instructions are for installing a whole new Ninja Trader or am I mistaken?

Hello BottomShark77,

Thank you for your response.

This is only an upgrade and your settings and files will remain.

Help - Historical Data Required

I need 1 hour bar - historical data for CL, Crude Oil, NYMEX for 10-20 years in Excel format, OHLC. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello billbohm,

Unfortunately I am not aware of source that provides 10-20 years of historical data for the CL future in Excel format.

I think you should find the data first then figure out how to export into excel will be easier.
Hopes it helps

Zero out my DOM

First of all, I have NO idea how to start a "new thread" in here as I can't seem to find a tab for that anywhere. I need to know how do I reset my DOM to 0 when it has accumulative numbers in it now. I want my DOM to read 0.

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

You will need to click the New Thread button after you selected one of the topics of the main support page.

Can you please right click in the SuperDOM and select 'Properties'. Set 'Show realized PnL when flat' to False.

[mkamenar]

I got that much

That's not my problem. I don't want my DOM to say "PNL". I want it in $ but to reset it to $0

[billbohm]

point taken

[NinjaTrader_ChristopherJ]

The Realize PnL when trading a live account will only reset to 0 when the next trading session begins and cannot be reset manually within NinjaTrader.

If you are trading the Simulator account you can reset the simulator if you wish. Resetting a simulation account will clear all historical trade data from this account. Please follow the instructions below to reset a simulation account. (This can take long depending on the size of your database file and your system.)

• From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools> Options> Simulator.
• Press the 'Reset' button.
• If you do not want to lose your trade data, uncheck the 'Clear history' box (This must be left checked when wanting to remove a stuck sim order)

Have you had any luck with Google?

No luck yet

I did it a few times before from the control panel. I just don't remember. It had to do with opening some box then clicking the reset button and waiting about 20 seconds.
