trouble running a strategy

[abikambic]

Question,

I coded a strategy, compiled it, and than tried to run it to see if it works properly. I connected to mb trading, got the data feed ok, I than selected start to run the strategy, and apparently the strategy is on and running, the software saysthe strategy is on or running but I do not get any kind of info from the strategy, theres nothing visual for me to see that its trading. I also noticed I cannot get anycharts andwhen I try to start the strategy from a chart box it does not show any info or trades from the strategy......Thanx Much

Hi Steve,

I suspect the issue is that you don't have access to historical data.

- If you are only connected to MBT then for sure you do not have historical data to drive your charts
- You can subscribe to a service that offers historical data such as eSignal, DTNiQ, TrackData or OpenTick (free service) and connect at the same time as MBT.

Additional information on multiple connections is located here - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/MultipleConnections1.html

Ninja,

I have a free demo, live realtime data thru MBT, I believe I set up the ninja for realtime data 1 minute dataeven though there is no realmoney being used. Should I not still be able to make things work out this way? Thanx Much

Your strategy will require historical data. MBT doesnot provide historical data and so running a strategy will not be possible until you get access to historical data.
