Auto Scroll a Chart ?

[lightfoot500]

Hi, I am really getting lazy. i was wondering if there is a way to make a chart scroll from right to left automatically for the purpose of reviewing the last day or more. normally to do this i just click on the horizontal slider with the mouse to cause the chart to move forward in time.. but have often thought it would be nice to give my finger a break and allow the chart to move by at a predetermined rate,,for example, one bar every second or half second or what ever a person wants. so that we can visually to do a playback and watch the days action in review...
is there such a feature or add-on that would allow this ?

thanks.

Have you tried market replay?

You can play back at up to 500x in NT7.

You'll have to record data or download it.

Hello lightfoot500,

I would agree that it is likely Market Replay that you're looking for. To set up Market Replay you will first need to have data for Market Replay.

There are 2 ways of getting market data for Market Replay

1. Record live market data To do this you will need to enable the Market Replay Recorder by going to Tools> Options> Data check Record for market replay and select OK Now data will be recorded for any instrument in any NinjaTrader window that is receiving live market data. Level II (market depth) data is only recorded if a Level II, SuperDOM, or FX Pro window is open and receiving data for the instrument. The Market Analyzer window is the recommended recording window as multiple instruments can be added to one Market Analyzer window and all recorded at the same time.

2. Download replay data from the NinjaTrader server NinjaTrader offers a limited amount of replay data free to download. Only the most common instruments are currently available.

Notes:

-Record for market replay must be disabled from the Data tab of the Options menu before downloading replay data.
-NOT available when connected to the Market Replay connection.

To download replay data:

1. Select the File menu in the Control Center, select the menu item Utilities and select Download Replay Data... The Download Replay Data window appears.
2. Select the instrument and date of the desired replay data and press the OK button to begin the download.

To start Market Replay first disconnect from any other connections. Connect to the Market replay by going to File> Connect> Market Replay

Select the time frame for the Market Replay Data you would like to view. NinjaTrader windows will only display data for instruments and times you have data available.

You can check what data you have available by right clicking on the Market Replay control and selecting Available data. Data will only be displayed within the selected time frame.
