Command line argument to start NinjaTrader in offline mode?

[cgeorgan]

Title says it all -

Is there a way to pass a command line argument to launch NinjaTrader 7 so that it isn't connected to the provider it was last connected to when the last user logged off (i.e. it's offline)?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for posting.

NinjaTrader would not automatically connect to a data provider unless the account connection was set up specifically to do so. These account connections can be edited to remove this functionality.

What account connection is connecting automatically when NinjaTrader starts?

I'm sorry - I meant data connection. In this case, DTN.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

To edit your connection to not connect automatically, please use these steps.

1. Navigate to Tools -> Account Connections
2. Select your DTN/IQFeed connection
3. Select "Change"
4. Once the connection edit window appears, click "Next".
5. Uncheck "Connect on startup"
6. Click "Next" until all steps are complete and press "Finish".

The next time NinjaTrader starts the connection will not connect automatically.
