Backtest / Historical Data

[newworldguy]

is there a way to specify a generic contract so that I dont have to change the instrument every 3 months?

[newworldguy]

that doesn't work either. disappointing, because i would have expected this to be the most common instrument used for a backtest, and even this doesn't work! do other users do backtest using tick data for e-mini?

Newworldguy,

I would like to set up a remote session with you.

Please send me a note to support[at]ninjatrader[dot]com

Put ATTN Cal in the subject line and a reference to this thread.

i sent you the message. please check. the backtest has been running for over an hour now for a 24 day run

[newworldguy]

when should we do the session. i have to leave in about an hour for a meeting.

This thing doesn't work! I tried April 2014 for the ES 06-14 contract. no luck there too running for 2 hours!

[newworldguy]

Finally the historical download doesn't work either. check screenshots of a simple operation... pretty disappointing.

I am out of the office now but will be online again on Tokyo open, hopefully by then you guys have figured it out!

This product is promising but seems to lack implementation / testing i.e. not ready???!
