    Is there a way to save a chart for offline viewing?

    I would like to know if there is a way to save a chart (with indicators) for viewing offline later. Not simply save the image, but the whole chart that I can scroll back through the days. For example, a 5 min chart of ES for 30 days where I can only squeeze one day at a time on the current screen but would like to be able to scroll back and forth through the 30 days like I can in the NinjaTrader platform.
    If not, is there a specific file for a specific chart within a workspace that I can open with some kind of software to view later? Thanks.

    Hello HarvOS,

    Thanks for writing in.

    Historical data is saved to your local hard drive when requested which once disconnected the historical data will be pulled from your local directory and can be viewed while offline. To ensure all historical data has been saved before disconnecting right click in your chart(s) and select "Reload All Historical Data".

    Let me know if I may be of further assistance.

      Thanks, but that still requires using the platform. I want to be able to feed a chart indicator into an AI to do some of the tedious calculations for me. I don't think the AI can view the chart within the platform on my PC. Is there a file for a chart that can be opened outside of the platform? Like the "save image as" can be opened in another viewer. Thanks.

        Unfotunately, the only option available to view the chart outside the platform is the "Save as image" option. If you only need the data you can export your export your historical data from NinjaTrader which would be in .txt text format.

        I have included a link below to our Help Guide that goes over exporting data.Let me know if I may be of further assistance.

          Can't you export the chart price data and the indicator values into a text file?

            I can export the chart price data, but I don't think there is a way to export the indicator values.
            I could export the chart price data into a text file and then import it into excel and use formulas to calculate indicator values. There are two problems. One, the data is for every single minute of the day, which would take over 200,000 lines for one year. Two, the time format in the text file is such that excel cannot recognize it. For example, 4:01 AM shows as 040100 and no matter what I try to do I cannot format it into a time.

              Well, you could export indicator values and price data simultaneously using StreamWriter, JSON or just Print() method (but Print() supports up too 200k rows, so writing into file would be a better idea).
              For Excel I recommend you to export it like normal DateTime like this 7/30/23 12:11 AM then in next columns use Day(), Month(), Year(), Hour(), Minute(). And now you can work with dates much easier. You don't need no format.
