How to download historical data from Kinetick to replay to test strategies.

[smtraders]

Hi,

Could you please guide me or share some example how can I download the historical data from Kinetick to load into playback connection to test the strategies.

I have a live data access to Kinetick but I don't want to test during market hours as I would be "live trading" during market hours.

I wanted to test the strategies on stocks during off market hours, hence please guide me how to download the data as if its a live market "mimic" I mean playback connection.

Thanks for all your help ! Have a nice Thanks giving day !

/SM.

Ex: I tried to download for symbol "KO" but I didn't find it where it is located and how can load it to playback.

Hello smtraders,

Thank you for posting.

To use the Playback Connection you will first need to have data for Market Replay.

There are 2 ways of getting market data for Market Replay for Stocks:

1. Record live market data To do this you will need to enable the Market Replay Recorder by going to Tools> Options> Market Data > check 'Enable market recording for playback' > OK. Now data will be recorded for any instrument in any NinjaTrader window that is receiving live market data. Level II (market depth) data is only recorded if a Level II, SuperDOM, or FX Pro window is open and receiving data for the instrument. The Market Analyzer window is the recommended recording window as multiple instruments can be added to one Market Analyzer window and all recorded at the same time. Please see the following publicly available help guide page for more information: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ReplayRecorder
2. Download Tick data from within the "Download" section of the Historical Data window. When replaying Tick data that has been downloaded within the Playback controller window you must enable "Historical" as opposed to "Market Replay".

I have provided a publicly available link below to our Help Guide that goes over Market Replay.
