The proper session begin/end is 1700 ET (New York). You can use this to help make the conversion:

Change to your time zone, hit GO, and then set up your charts to conincide with the Sydney open.

Happy Weekend!

I installed NJ and setup a Gain connection.
Now I'm trying to add an indicator to the chart and the list is empty. Do I have to import them? all I need is the moving average.

I read through the help. I right clicked on the chart and selected 'indicators' to show the list of indicators. However, the list is empty.. nada.. zipo. this is my first install of ninjatrader. Does it not come with a default list of indicators?

Sibaroochi,

Are you seeing an active chart, or does the chart remain blank?

Thanks guys for your suggestions but I may have figured it out. The MyDocuments folder is on a network drive, not local to my PC. Therefore, Ninjatrader Support is telling me that the software will not trust the folder enough to run DLLs from it. Therefore, I'll have to do the following:

Resolution:
The problem is that .NET will not load DLLs which are not local to the machine. You need to increase the trust level of the local network (intranet) to fix this problem.

a) Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration->My Computer->Runtime Security Policy (see <image1>)

b) Click on: Adjust internet zone> Next -> Local Intranet

c) Adjust the level of trust to Full Trust (see <image2>)

You might experience that options above are not available on your machine. You then would need to install the .NET 2.0 SDK from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

I am new to ninjatrader.. what is a tick? versus a second? I was confused because I see both options in the software.

Also how do you change the default characteristics of a drawing tool? Example: I'd like the Line tool to always be yellow.

(the help guide doesn't explain this)

a tick is a trade..it could be 1 contract or 100..so a tick chart shows a set number of trades per bar. Tick volume will give you a relative idea of how many large contract trades went through in that bar.

to change drawing properties...just select the line and right click then select 'line properties'..it is the same for all drawing object eg fibos or boxes or text.

the support forum is really good..you generally get a reponse withinn the hour..maybe not on a weekend..

all the best

thank you lindsay! So do you personally prefer the tick over seconds?

  • Aug 8, 2009 7:46pm Aug 8, 2009 7:46pm
yes I trade with tick charts at the moment..I think it helps me manage risk better than a time chart...but I might add that I am not consistenty profitable so what would I know Really it is about what suits you as a trader..none is better than another. NT is very good in many ways.... because as a learner you can do real time simulated trading for free...and even use replay to practice different things.

For Gain, use for historical backfill - Ninja Trader servers, on the uid/pw leave blank and put demo in the Mode.
You do not need a demo acct open with Gain.

I've received this information from the fellow trader (he told me it's possible to demo trade with live data feed in ninjatrader, but it's not perfect):

You have a live data feed, but the demo trading side is all replicated locally. So issues such as broker communication delay, order rejection, slippage, etc don't come into play. Ninjatrader tries to replicate these "real world" issues as much as possible, hence the good but not perfect.

Perfect would be being able to open a demo Forex.com/GAIN account and connecting to that account via NinjaTrader. You can't do that, Forex.com/GAIN only let you connect real accounts to NinjaTrader.

Could you comment this?

I have used gain feed..a couple of months back now..it was free and trouble free. The simulated trading on NT is pretty good as you can set the execution lag to replicate live trading..really for sim trading..in my opinion..it would be hard to do better..free and realistic. I also trade futures and noticed no difference in execution from my sim to actual trading.

Does nijatrade use real historical data for simulation?
