Micros not showing any trades in strategy analyzer

[jamesliotttrading]

Hello,

When I run the analyzer on a strategy using NQ, it generates a backtest with trades, but when I switch the instrument to MNQ (using the same chart timeframe) it shows no trades on the same strategy. I would think the strategy could be applied to any normal instrument so I don't understand why there is a difference.

Thanks,
Jim

Hello jamesliotttrading,

Thank you for your post.

To get a better understanding of why nothing happens when you test in the Strategy Analyzer, please answer all of the following questions:

• What version of NinjaTrader are you using? Please provide the entire version number. This can be found under Help -> About (Example: 8.?.?.?)
• Do you see similar results when running the same test on the SampleMACrossover strategy in NinjaTrader with the same settings as your strategy?
• Who are you connected to? This is displayed in green in the lower-left corner of the Control Center window.
• Are you connected to your data feed provider when running this test?
• I see from your post you're testing the MNQ, what expiry have you selected?
• What Data Series Type have you selected? Example: Tick, Minute, Day
• What From and To date is selected?
• If you open a chart for the same instrument(s) and the same date range, then right-click the chart and select 'Reload all historical data' is the historical data showing on the chart?
• Is your strategy a multi-instrument or multi-time frame strategy?
• Do you receive an error on the screen? Are there errors on the Log tab of the Control Center? If so, what do these errors report?

I look forward to assisting further.
