Ninjatrader Chart Display Last Price

[cranky]

Hello: I assume that Ninjatrader plots its charts using the last price. To test my strategy manually, I need some sort of consistency. In other words, is there a way to plot the chart using the bid or ask price? Or is there a way around it? Thanks!

Hello cranky,

Thank you for your post.

When opening a chart, the data series window has a selection for "Price based on" where you may select either Last, Ask, or Bid. This would allow you to plot the bid or ask price if you'd like. When you apply your strategy to the chart, you will be able to use the ask or bid series as the input. For more details on the available Data Series parameters:
