Simulated Data Feed Gone???

[Antraman]

Hi again,

I seem to be unable to get simulated data feed running. I think I may have removed the included instruments because all I am getting in the Control Centre under "Name" is the 6E which is what I have been playing with for the past months. I now want to do something in Simulated Data Feed, but can't get any prices up in the DOM, or any bars in a chart. I get the green "Connected - Simulator" message at bottom, and the trend slider, but nothing else.

Looking for what I might need in the instrument manager just makes me confused...:X
Any ideas? thanks,

Antraman

Please check your logs: any funny message in there?

[Antraman]

Would that be C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 5\log ?

I can't see anything "funny" in there...don't really know what I'm looking for.

thx,

Control Center -> Tab "Log"

OK, there's a few yellow and orange stripes in there, but nothing to suggest a reason for having non instruments to trade in Simulated Data Feed (if thats what the problem actually is)

Maybe I should just wait for 6?

cheers,
Antraman

Good idea. Public beta will be available within a few days.

How about editing the 6E in the Instrument Manager, is their a Sim Feed Start Price value? If not, that's the issue.

[Antraman]

Actually, that was one of the orange or yellow messages...no starting price for 6E or something like that. I'll try that...do I just pick a value and start?

cheers,
Antraman

Yes, any value is fine.
