    ATM Tick Size

    When trading CL, I have an ATM set to 8 and 16 Ticks. However, the chart sets the levels to 2 and 4 points, suggesting that the tick size for CL is 4/point instead of 100/point.

    Hello IanS00,


    Thank you for posting on the NinjaTrader forums.


    Please review the following link that covers minimum tick value for the CL as well as value per point. Here is what a bracket order with an 8 tick stop loss 16 tick profit target would look like as an example:

        Let's try renaming your database to resolve this item using the following steps:
        • Shutdown NinjaTrader, and navigate to the Windows File Explorer (Windows Key + E)
        • Go to the Documents/NinjaTrader 8/db folder
        • Right-click on "NinjaTrader.sqlite" and rename it to "NinjaTrader OLD.sqlite"
        • When you restart NinjaTrader, a fresh database file will automatically be created by the software.
        • Unfortunately, the following items stored in the old database will be lost - custom Trading Hours templates, custom Instruments/Instrument Lists, historical trade execution data, and saved Strategy Analyzer backtest results

        To prevent running into situations where you can potentially lose important data, we advise running regular backups via the built-in Backup feature in NinjaTrader.



        Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
