Use live data timestamp instead of system clock

[habibalex]

Is there a setting to use the timestamps of the incoming live data received from the data provider instead of my system clock? My system clocks seems to drift a bit everyday and I would prefer using CME timestamps rather than locally generated ones.

Hello habibalex,

Thank you for your note.

I am not aware of a setting that could accomplish this currently but I have submitted your inquiry to our development team as a feature request, I would suggest syncing your PC clock if you haven't already to receive the best results.

Please use the steps below to change/check your Time Zone and sync the PC clock:

• Shutdown NinjaTrader
• Right-click the clock in the lower right corner of your desktop
• Select Adjust date/time
• For Windows 10 click 'Additional date, time, & regional settings' -> then click 'Set the time and date'
• Select the 'Internet Time' tab at the top
• Set the server to time.nist.gov and then click Update.
• If the message that appears says successful your PC clock should now be updated.
• If not, select a different server from the Server: drop-down and try again (repeat until one of the servers is successful)

After updating the PC clock, please restart NinjaTrader, then right-click the chart and select Reload All Historical Data.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

What is the SFT tracking number associated with my request?
