I changed my timezone to US EST, daylight savings time was causing me too many problems. But now my historical data is invalid. It appears to be using the old time. I deleted my data for ES and now it's ok. but how can I delete ALL my data for all symbols? I only see a way to do it one symbol at a time.

Hello cunparis,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, you will need to delete historical data one instrument at a time.

This is a problem because I have data for hundreds of symbols, but the real problem is NT doesn't know there is a problem so when I run a strategy it will use the invalid data.

A "delete all historical data" feature would be nice.

Hello cunparis,

You could delete/rename your database as well, but this will cause you to lose all ATM strategy templates and trade history besides saved chart data as well.

My Documents-->NinjaTrader 6.5-->db-->NinjaTrader(mdb)

I have forwarded your suggestion to Development to support a 'delete all historical data' function.

I don't have any ATM templates (not sure what that is!) and trade history is no big deal big this is strictly a development pc. So this approach is fine for me.

Thanks for the workaround.

Oops! This also wipes out the instrument list which is a dealbreaker for me.
