tick data for contract

Hello, I want to analyze the tick data for a specific contract. How do I access it?

Hello Morrnel,

Thank you for creating your post today.
There would be a few different ways to access tick data for a specific contract. One of the main ways would be to use Market Replay to download data for the specific day/instrument you wish to analyze, however the NinjaTrader server typically only holds 90 days worth of Market Replay data to download at a time for most of the popular Futures and Forex instruments.


I have provided a publicly available link below to our YouTube video that provides a brief overview of downloading Market Replay data, connecting to the Playback Connection, and replaying data in case you wish to access the data this way:

Alternatively if your data provider supplies Tick Data, you should be able to access the historical data for the instrument and contract you wish to analyze. Here is a link that goes into further detail regarding the different data providers that are available and the data they provide: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...y_provider.htm
