Troubleshooting

I have downloaded 6 month of CL contract and the prices from my broker feed are significantly different than the replay data.

You need to rollover CL contract every month. That means the active contract “changes” every month. However if you have downloaded 6 months of CL the first month from this batch is definitely not the active contract.

You need to either download an active contract for the specified period or use a continuous contract (available for PRO version only). For every futures contract you need to check a corresponding exchange website (CME for CL, for example) to see what contract is active.

I have downloaded 3 months of CL however Market Replay Connection show any data downloaded. I have downloaded a lot of data, however don't see any data available. No data has been downloaded

To download 3 months you need to use a continuous contract CL ##-##.
Select “Continuous” option in Market Replay downloader.

All the data will be stored in NinjaTrader 7/db/data folder. To verify what data is available right-click on Market Replay Panel and select “Available Data”.
A new window will open to show a list of available instruments and whether L1 or L2 is available. An empty list means – “no data is available”.

To “fix” this issue please verify a date range in a market replay panel.
Verify “From” and “To” dates.

I connected to Market Replay connection, however prices don't move

There are 2 potential causes:

  1. Selected date range in Replay Control window doesn’t have any data
  2. Actual available data is different from what is selected for the chart

Please verify the following:

  1. Verify a date range selection in Replay Control Window. Also notice a date and the time on the current chart you have issues with
  2. Right click on Replay Control window and select “Available Data”. Then verify that a set of the instruments is available for the corresponding date range
Verify “From” and “To” dates.

I connected to Market Replay connection, however don't see a Replay Panel

A Replay Control window (shown below) probably appears outside a visible area. This may happen after you have previously used market replay connection on another computer with bigger screen or multiple monitors and Replay Control Panel has been placed on the second monitor or beyond the visible range of the current computer. For example NinjaTrader setting has been transferred from a desktop to a laptop with a smaller screen.

Market Replay Control Panel

 

There are 2 solutions to make this Panel visible again:

  1. Remove _Workspaces.xml file
    • Shut down NinjaTrader.
    • Navigate to …\NinjaTrader 7\workspaces folder
    • Delete a file _Workspaces.xml
    • Start NinjaTrader and connect to a Market Replay Connection. Market Reply Control Panel will be shown on it’s default position on the screen.
  2. Edit _Workspaces.xml file
    • Shut down NinjaTrader.
    • Navigate to …\NinjaTrader 7\workspaces folder
    • Open a file _Workspaces.xml in Notepad
    • Search the item <ReplayControlCenter> and locate an item <Location> immediately after. It has 2 numbers delimited with semicolon. Those 2 numbers represent a position on the screen a Replay Control Panel will be shown.
    • Update those 2 numbers with 0;0 and save the file. Note: a delimiter between two zeros is a semicolon
    • Start NinjaTrader and connect to a Market Replay Connection. Market Reply Control Panel will be shown at the left top corner of the screen.
