It seems that the new ninjatrader does not solve the exchange time and pc time sync problem. It only let the user choose the time zone per strategy, but I think this must be done with the appropiate exchange and pc time syncronization.

cesas,
If your data provider offers native timestamps then it will use those for timestamping. If not, then you will be using your PC clock for timestamping. Because of this you will need to ensure you keep your PC clock in sync with the exchange.

thats my point. The process of timestamping data without native timestamping must be made automaticaly with exchange time, not with pc time. Pc time and exchange time will vary all the times. Trying all days to adjust the clocks are time consuming and are not generating value, this task need to be automatic.

If the data provider does not provide that information there is nothing we can do.

If other software programs like quotetracker can do it, Ninjatrader can do it for sure!

cesas,
As stated, you will need to sync your PC clock. Frankly, PC clock losing sync does not happen often unless there is something wrong with the internal clock on your machine's motherboard.
