Ability to save bid ask data

[dkelly]

I am trialing the volume footprint from Final Algorithms and when I go to
change a time frame on the chart all the data is lost. He said it is because
Ninja Trader doesn't have the capability to save bid and ask volume data.
Will Ninja Trader be able to do this in the near future?

Sometime later this year.

[dkelly]

any updates on this ability?

End of year for beta is the target.

Any more updates on this feature or is this coming out when NT7 is out?

Thanks.

Hi Chonwayne,

Thank you for your reply.

We are targeting a beta release by the end of September followed by a several month beta phase which historically ranged between two to three months.

For more information about NinjaTrader 7 and to track it's development status, please see the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/NT7/NinjaTrader7.html

Can't wait.

I see that NT7 just came out. Can you confirm that it does in fact have the capability to save bid and ask data? More specifically, can I run a back-test through Strategy Analyzer of a strategy using bid, ask and last prices with their respective volumes?

Thanks

dargente, you could programmatically access the bid / ask series and execute to those then in your strategy backtests, correct. This will need special coding though to execute on the added bid / ask series in your code - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...s/nt7/add3.htm (please see the extended Add overload offering to add specific marketDateTypes as well).

No you cant, they keep saying you can but no your cant. Yes they have bid,ask,last but it does not give volume for what you are looking for. It is not true bid ask data storage, funny you look down this thread and you have 5 posts saying yes it will be in ninja 7, and guess what it wasnt
