Downloading data series for backtesting purposes

[Radano]

Is it feasible to download data series to a local drive and use it for offline backtesing/optimization?

Hello Radano,

I assume you refer to historical data with "data series". Backtests/optimizations use historical data to calculate results. Historical data is automatically loaded from the connected broker/data feed connection when you perform a backtest or optimization in the Strategy Analyzer. This historical data is then also stored natively in NinjaTrader on your computer.

You can view all historical data you have present in NinjaTrader on your computer at Control Center-->Tools-->Historical Data-->Edit-tab.
