Playback Historical Data for Forex

I seem to only be able to test the strategy at the default 2 weeks of historical data.
How could I test my strategy at a longer time period?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Glad to assist. Data available can vary between data provider in use. Who are you connected to? This is displayed in green on lower left corner of the Control Center window.


What instrument (and expiry if applicable) have you selected? For example, ES 12-18, AAPL, EURUSD, etc.

(For a chart) what interval is selected? For example, 5 minute, 1 day, 2000 volume, 4 Renko, etc.

We look forward to assisting further.

I'm connected to Playback Connection data provider.
Instruments: EURUSD and GBPUSD at 1 Second.

Thank you for your reply.

Increasing the start date should give assess more data - when viewed on a chart, are you able to see this data in playback?

we look forward to assisting further.

Q1:
Error message:
"Value must be greater than 21/31/2017 9 pm"
Is that as far back as it can go?
I would like to start the test in 1/1/1999?


Q1: Given that I could only go as far back as 21/31/2017 @9 pm"
I proceed and got "Disabled"
The Error on Log that unchecked 'Enabled' on strategy.
"Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate method on bar 2391: You are accessing an index with a value that is invalid
since it is out of range....."
I could not view the entire error message since it was Truncated.

Q3:
Do trace and log contain my strategies?

[NinjaTrader_EricB]

Thank you for your reply.

Most providers offer about a year back of historical tick data used for historical playback. We are not aware of a provider that would offer the data that far back. For Q2. please write (see post 6) so we may look into these errors. For Q3, no, strategies are not sent along with the log and trace files.

For FOREX

How do I download Market Replay data in batch?
The only option available is by the day and it took too much time and clicking just for a month of market replay.
