Data feed doesn't load until I start NT and connect to live

[Orangensaft123]

Hi, my NT doesn't load historical market data. It loads the day 10/25 from 0am to 3:30pm (UTC+2) but not more or less. When I log in and connect to market data it gaps from 10/25 3:30pm to 10/28 current time. I've enabled tick replay and the data series is set to loading 3 days. I am using 3rd party indicators, however if I open a new chart without any indicator, it doesn't work either, I'll attach screenshots. I am using a prop MFFU account and their data feed.

Hello Orangensaft123,

Thank you for the message.

Please use the following steps to remove all of the old Historical Data from the platform and re-download the data new:

• Close NinjaTrader
• Go to the Documents folder > NinjaTrader 8 > db, this folder holds all of the historical data
  • Delete the following folders:
    • Tick
    • Minute
    • Day
    • Cache
      • Do NOT delete any other files or folders
  • After Deleting these folders, reopen NinjaTrader and it will make New ones automatically.

Reopen NinjaTrader, connect to data, and wait for the charts to load in.

• Does the behavior continue?

If yes, then please create the following "Test" chart to see if the behavior continues on a basic chart with no add-ons.

• Go to the Control Center > New > Chart
• Select the ES 12-24
• Make it a 1-minute chart
• Set the 'Days to load' to 5
• Make sure 'Template' in the top-right corner is set to < None >
• Set the Time frame > Trading hours > To "Default 24x7"
• Click OK to make the chart
  • Does this chart load in and work as expected?
    • If yes, how is it different from the other charts?
    • If no, then please let us know so we may provide further steps.

Please let us know if we may provide any further assistance.

Thank you for the response. Deleting the folders did not fix the problem but deleted the chart from 10/25. Now I only have candles printed since connection to live data. I made a test chart with the instructions but it has the exact same problem. I also connected to simulation but no changes at all, so the data feed can't be the problem.

Hello Orangesaft123,

Thank you for the message.

Since there are still 3rd party add-ons on the chart, please use the following steps to open the platform in Safe Mode and create a "Test" workspace to see if the behaviors continue without any add-ons present.

• If the behaviors don't continue in Safe Mode, save the "Test" workspace and then reopen NinjaTrader like normal to the Test workspace and see if the behaviors continue.
• If the behavior hasn't returned, reopen the Original workspace to see if this behavior comes back and is specific to your original workspace.

Safe Mode will prevent NinjaTrader from:

• Loading workspaces and connecting on start-up.
• Loading custom assemblies (i.e. 3rd-party add-ons and NinjaScripts)
• Getting instrument updates from the server

To enable Safe Mode, please use the following steps:

• Shut down NinjaTrader.
• Hold the CTRL key and double-click the NinjaTrader icon.
• Keep holding the CTRL key until you see the Sign in Window then sign in (If the logo is Maroon, hold until you see the Control Center since this is an Older version)
• You may then verify you are in Safe Mode by going to Help -> About.

Once you have opened the platform in Safe Mode:

• Reconnect to your Data Provider
• Go to the Control Center > Workspaces > Click new > Call it "Test" > Click OK
  • Please open a new chart with no custom bar types/indicators/templates and test for issues.
  • Create a small Test workspace using Default NinjaTrader Indicators only and test if the behavior continues.

Does the behavior persist on this "Test" Workspace in Safe Mode?

• If the behavior is no longer happening, go to the Control Center > Workspaces > Hover over "Test" > Click save
• Restart NinjaTrader and open the platform like normal. Click "NO" if it asks to save again.

NinjaTrader should open to the "Test" workspace in Normal mode now:

• Connect to your Market Data and test if the behavior continues while here on the Test Workspace in Normal mode.
• If there are no errors, try opening your original workspace

Do the errors return when you re-open the Original Workspace?

• If yes, this confirms that the unwanted behavior is being caused by something within the original workspace specifically.
• You could either:
  • Remove things from the Original Workspace 1-by-1 until the unwanted behaviors go away and you will know the last thing removed was causing it.
  • Or, continue with the Test Workspace and build it back up 1-by-1 until the behaviors return so you know the last thing added back in is causing the unwanted behaviors
    • Once you narrow in on what is causing the Unwanted behaviors, you could reach out to the developer for further help and information on why it is happening and what must be done to avoid it moving forward.

Please let us know if the unwanted behaviors continued while opening NinjaTrader in Safe Mode or to the "Test" workspace in Normal Mode.

Please let us know if we may provide any further assistance.
