Historical Data - Current bar always offset to upside.

[FrazMann]

Hi,

Ive downloaded historical data for the Nov CL contract and I'm experiencing an offset in price when i start the playback ie if i start at 9am the price should be $100 but it jumps to $120. If i skip the time forward to 9:30am and look at the 9am price, it will show as $100 but the 9:30am price is now offset and all future prices will also be offset. Have i set something up wrong?

##Update: It appears as though the price shown when i click play is jumping forward several hours.##

Hello FrazMann,

Thank you for posting on the NinjaTrader forums.


It's possible that the price offset you're experiencing when using Playback in NinjaTrader is likely due to how historical data and chart rendering are being managed during playback. This type of issue could occur if there is a delay in how the chart processes data, especially when fast-forwarding through time or skipping intervals.

Here are a few things to consider and check:

1. NinjaTrader may be experiencing a delay in rendering chart data due to high resource usage or inefficient data handling when fast-forwarding. If the chart falls behind in processing, it could display incorrect price information temporarily. You can confirm this by comparing the price in the Playback chart with the actual bid/ask prices during playback.

If the issue persists, you might try reloading the historical data:

• Right-click on the chart and select Reload All Historical Data to ensure all price data is correctly loaded and in sync.
