chart time indicator for lag time charts in ninjatrader

Chart Time indicator to find Lag in seconds and milliseconds

It will display three things in the upper right corner of the chart:

� The core time of NT8
� The chart time of NT8
� The difference of the two times (if the Chart time is behind the core time, it will be a negative number).

EXAMPLE
Here is an example of what you will see in the upper right corner of your chart when you load the indicator on your chart:

12:29:28:529 12:29:28:257 -00.272

USE
I watch this indicator near the start and end of the regular session when my charts will typically lag the market. While trading these times or any other high volume times, when I see a chart lag, I then use the DOM to ensure I see the fastest pricing information that NT8 offers (that I have found).

I didn't build the indicator, just found it on ninjatrader forum (it seems to me that more people are having problems with the lagging of ninjatrader)

Try installing the TickRefresh indicator to see if that fixes the problem. I know the chart doesn't refresh as quickly as the DOM and the TickRefresh indicator solves this issue at the expense of processing power in my experience.

Hi there @hobbys11, @trepidation,

i can't get it, what the "core time of NT8" really is. What has it to do with the dom and why the chart time has a negativ offset. If the chart lags i expect the chart time is the DOM time + x ms, isn't it?

Has it anything to to with the "data feed lag" calculation. Initially i looked for an indicator which compares the datetime of the incoming tick with the local computer time, to evaluate data feed / internet routing latency. I'm afraid, that this has nochting to do with this indicator.

Regards,
Koepisch
