Way to use tick data without enabling Tick Replay

[WHICKED]

Is there a way to use tick data on historical information for an indicator without using the tick replay feature?

Hello WHICKED,

Thanks for your post.

The indicator would need to add its own 1 Tick series to individualize their own version of Tick Replay.

See the sample script made by my colleague Chris in this forum thread: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...king-something

so in looking at that - this seems to have a limitation that if you use bars of say 1500 - it doesn't fully populate. Why is that? That does not make sense as the chart populates completely - why wouldn't the indicator?

Since all of the tick data is there - and the charts have all the bars - why would it fail to calculate from where you defined how many bars to load?

Hello WHICKED,

Thanks for your note.

Utilizing the Bars To Load option should be avoided in multiple series scripts. Using Bars To Load will result in each bar series using only that number of bars.

So a script that adds a Tick series and uses 10 Bars To Load will result in only 10 bars loaded for the Tick series.

Well, thats all good and fine for your implementation. If one needed to bybass that 'restriction' is there a way to detect and load all the tick data needed that is already loaded on the chart via the bars?

Hello WHICKED,

Thanks for your note.

There are no documented or supported means for bypassing this restriction.

That said, this forum thread will be open for other community members to share their insight.
