Choppy Bars on 5 min chart

[DooberXL]

Hello,

As of this week, my charts look like the following when I try to load historical data going back more than 1 month. The following image is the current NQ contract 03-25 but looking at September of 2024.



This was never an issue before the most recent contract rollover. How can I correct this?

Hello DooberXL,

Thank you for reaching out.

If you are seeing gaps in data after rollover:

Please go to Tools-> Options -> Market Data-> under Global Merge Policy, select "Merge adjusted/Merge back adjusted".

Apply the change, then go back to your chart, right click on your chart and select the option that says "Reload all historical data".

If this does not work, additionally :

Clear old historical and cache data by doing the following:

- Shut down NinjaTrader 8

- Go to the 'Documents/NinjaTrader 8/db' folder of your computer

- Delete the files inside the 'cache', 'day', 'minute', and 'tick' folders.

- Important: Do not remove any other files inside the NinjaTrader 8 Documents folder.

-Restart your PC

When you restart NinjaTrader 8, you may notice a slightly longer initial load time as all of your historical chart data is re-downloaded, but your overall performance should be better.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance or if you continue to experience this behavior.
