[futtrader]

While learning playback, I notice inconsistency between the timing - Playback shows current time at 6:29 AM while chart show current time 7:00 AM. Please see the snapshot.

Hello futtrader,

NinjaTrader Desktop timestamps its price bars using the closing time. If the price bar shows a time of 7:05 in a 5 Minute chart, it contains data from 7:00:00 up to 7:04:59. The 5 Minute bar with a time of 7:00 contains data from 6:55:00 up to 6:59:59. Please see the information from the help guide below.

Bar Time Stamp
NinjaTrader stamps a bar with the closing time of the bar. For example, a minute bar with a time of 9:31:00 AM has data from 9:30:00 AM through 9:30:59 AM. Using end of bar time stamps is required in order to be able to plot multiple series of differing time frames within a single chart all accurately synchronized to time.


Can you please perform the following steps.

• Shut down NinjaTrader Desktop and navigate to the following folder.
• Documents-->NinjaTrader 8-->db folder.
• Delete the "cache" folder that is within the "db" folder.

Start NinjaTrader and check if price bars show the correct time. If the Playback replays a time of 6:29:16am, it should show the current 5 Minute bar with a timestamp of 6:30am.
