There is a little problem NinjaTrader`s crew couldn`t solve as of yet.When you imply sessions template,ocasionally there is a gap in price which maybe not suitable for many trading systems.I have a little code that,partially,solves this problem,but keeps the data a bit 'messy'.So i wonder,is there any way to accomplish that problem within Ninja sessions template,not using the code?
Thanks to anyone in advance!
Can you help answer these questions from other members on futures io?
Yes,basically,what i want is to eliminate the gapping between sessions.The code i have is somewhat good,but there are to problems.
1.The chart is messy due to doubling of the data.
2.The second problem is that i`d want to tie the indicators to the degapping data and not to the real data.Using indicators with real time data with gaps wouldnt be correct.
@tst1: If you do not mind my commentary, the session that you selected is completely irregular. You probably never traded any crude oil futures ...
CL is traded at New York, the regular session starts at 9:00 AM EST and ends at 2:30 PM EST, see CME contract specifications. The most important price of the day is the official settlement price which is determined at 2:30 PM EST. Your session starts at 3:00 AM EST and ends at 12:00 PM EST. So you do neither catch the settlement at 2:30 PM nor the close at 5:15 PM.
This is MADNESS.
Now to make things worse, you try to eliminate a gap that does not exist, with the only exception of your own chart. So you first create the artificial gap and then try to eliminate it. The result is a chart with false sessions and false price data. Eliminating the gap also falsifies the prior day's price data including high and low. Swings for measuring retracements are artificially distorted. It is about the worst crude oil chart that I have ever seen.
I suggest reading some literature on trading crude oil first, you could for example start with the Logical Trader by Mark Fisher. I also would like to recommend the thread by @mfbreakout, which can be found here.
I have been day trading full time for 3 years. First 2 years stocks and E-mini with little success. Finally, i found a method which suits my style and i have been day trading Crude Oil for over a year now. My trading method is based off Mark Fisher ACD …
Was having similar problem with futures charts loading HUGE gaps in data. Had just done some clean-up and removed prior rollover-date instruments. Re-added them and the gaps were gone!
I.E. Add in previous month or 3-mo. prior instruments.
Then, go to Tools / Options / Data / check-mark: "Get data from server..." then exit (saving settings).
Next do the following (from NT support):
"First, I suggest clearing your data cache so that NinjaTrader will load fresh data the next time you connect.
To clear the cache, please close NinjaTrader and navigate to the following directory:
* My Documents > NinjaTrader 7 > Db
Delete the contents of the cache, tick, minute and day folders. Now, when you restart NinjaTrader and connect to your data feed, NinjaTrader will load new data.
