Delayed Bars on NinjaTrader Compared to TradingView?

[joe1689]

Hello,

I've noticed that bars on NinjaTrader are delayed compared to TradingView. For instance, in the 3-minute timeframe chart, all the bars on NinjaTrader are delayed by exactly the timeframe, 3 minutes. So the candle at 10:30 on TradingView will appear at 10:33 on NinjaTrader, and so on.

Why is that?

Looking forwart to your reply.

Hello joe1689 ,

Thank you for reaching out.

Please note that this is not a delay.

NinjaTrader 8 time stamps at the close of the bar, rather than the start.

So the bar at 10:33am will contain data for 3 minutes ending at 10:33am

You will see the same whether you use 1 minute, or 30 minutes.

While forming, bars will be stamped as the next current minute/time interval.
