TradePerformance / New Computer

[Gerik]

Hello,

I have installed NinjaTrader on a new computer.

Unfortunately the Orders, Executions, Trades and also the Analysis are gone.

What happend? Is it not possible to retrieve the data from the Broker again?

Sincerely

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

Unfortunately the following items stored in the old database on the other computer will not be shown in the new database - Trading Hours templates, Instrument Lists / Custom Instruments, historical trade execution data, saved Strategy Analyzer backtest results.

If you go back to the old computer and make a backup file with the Database checked in it's properties and restore it on the new computer, this data will appear in the new computer.

More information can be found below in our Help Guide article regarding this topic:

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

Hello Marco,

thank you for your answer.

I guess it is required to close NinjaTrader to just make a backup of the NinjaTrader.sdf via an automatic script.

Will any new data automatically be immediately flushed to the NinjaTrader.sdf file?

Sincerely

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

Creating the backup file would not require shutting down NinjaTrader.

Any new data made in the new computers database will be replaced by the old database from the old computer when the restore occurs.

If you have any further NinjaTrader inquiries we may assist with, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hello Marco,

how can I merge two sdf-databases from two computers to one sdf-database?

Kind regards
