Notes: There are various limitations on data from each provider and data is subject to change. Options are not supported for NinjaScript use. *Historical bid/ask comes from associated value at each historical last tick value. |
NinjaTrader by default will always loads historical data from your provider (Recommended). However if you enable the option 'Record live data as historical' in the Control Center > Tools > Options > Market Data Category then NinjaTrader will store real-time incoming tick data to your local PC if you have a Chart or Market Analyzer (must have an indicator column added) window open. This data can then be used as historical data. For example, if you open a chart and let it run all day long, the data collected today, will be available as historical data when you open the same chart tomorrow.
Warning: Recording live data uses more PC resources and is intended for connections which DO NOT provide historical data. Enabling this option while also using a historical data provider is not recommended as it may result in data gaps. |
If your broker technology does not support historical data, you can connect to a service like Kinetick at the same time as connecting to your broker so that you can receive historical data. Please see the topic on Multiple Connections for additional information.
