Change the number of days to load for weekly and monthly

[M_ichel]

Hi everyone.

Recently, I started having pacing violations from Interactive Brokers. This greatly impacts my trading style and the way I manage my portfolio and watchlist.

I noticed that the default "days-to-load" for weekly charts is 1,825. Is there any way I can change this in NinjaTrader to another default value? Something on the order of 700 might work for me and, maybe, not cause those pacing violations.

To be clear, I would want to be able to, on an existing daily chart, click on the "Daily" draw-down menu and pick "Weekly". (I realize that I can also go to "Data Series", change Type to Week, change 1825 to 700, then click OK. That is way too long a process!) Typically, just prior to taking/closing a position, I'll be on a Daily chart; I just want to take a quick look at the Weekly, even sometimes at the Monthly, and then return to the Daily before making the decision.

Thanks.

Hello M_ichel,


Thank you for posting on the NinjaTrader forums.


You can right click the chart, Data Series > 'Days to Load' >

Once done, there is a button on the bottom left corner that reads 'preset week', click this then press save.


If you switch to a different interval, then come back to your weekly chart, the number of days will stay according to that preset.



Please let us know if there's anything else we can assist with.
