Please Help!!: NinjaTrader/Gain - Missing Data

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I use NinjaTrader with the Gain data feed to monitor my spot forex charts.

 

Periodically, I'll open the charts and the last x number of hours of data is missing.

 

It doesn't happen very often...not even every week. However, it's still a nuisance. Plus, reloading NinjaTrader will not solve the problem...I just have to live with it.

 

I've attached two images...the first of the Ninja chart with the missing data, then another chart showing the data that is missing.

 

Has anyone else ever had this problem? Is there a solution?

 

Thanks,

 

Cory

After resetting my computer a couple times, this is the best I could get it.

 

It's "better" for trading since the most recent price action is visible, but it's still missing about 12 hours of data from a while back...

Does this happen always at the same hour?

Thanks, everyone, for the replies...

 

Try posting at Ninja support under the "connecting" forum:

 

You might want to try to repair the database first: tools - Options - Misc - Repair database (you have to disconnect all connections first).

 

I have made a post over at that forum and am in conversation with one of the guys.

 

Repairing the database didn't help.

 

Does this happen always at the same hour?

I don't think so, but ya know, I'm not 100% sure.

 

Try Tools > Options > Misc. > Reset instruments or database. I had a problem connecting to zen-fire two days ago and i fixed it by resetting the database. Could work for you.

 

Thanks, but it didn't help.

Over at the Ninja forum, the guy had me disconnect and reset my modem and computer and everything...didn't help.

 

Now he's having me check my firewall/antivirus settings.

Well, it appears this may just be something I'l have to live with for the time being.

 

I wasn't able to find a solution via the NinjaTrader forum:

 

Please Help!!: NinjaTrader/Gain - Missing Data - NinjaTrader Support Forum

 

I anticipate getting a new computer and moving sometime in 2010, so maybe that will fix the problem.

 

It's REALLY rare that it happens, so I'm not too worried about going to the ends of the earth for a solution...

Hey Cory, Don't Panic. :D

 

All you need to do is right-click on the chart and "Reload Historical Data" [or press Ctrl+Shift+R].

 

Be warned that the exact time when this problem occurs, the Reloading option will be greyed. Just wait an hour, restart Ninja, and it should be available. :)

Well, as of this morning, the gap was still on my chart from yesterday's missing data, so I clicked "reload historical data" and the gap's gone!!

 

I do remember the option being greyed...I didn't realize you could wait and later it would be available.

 

Thanks so much for you help!!

"reload historical data" will be greyed out when/if you are not connected.

(via File/Connect).

Connect first.

You can then select this option and the chart will be backfilled.

"Repair Data Base" should be done when not connected.

    • Why not to simply connect you account to myfxbook which will collect all this data automatically for you? The process you described looks tedious and a bit obsolete but may work for you though.
    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.

    • What a wild year.   AI seems to be appearing everywhere you look, Paris hosted a weird Olympics, unrest continues in the Middle East, the US endured a crazy-heated election, and the largest rocket ever to fly successfully landed in a giant pair of robot arms.   Okay, but what about the $money stuff?   Well, this year we've seen a load of uncertainty - inflation is still biting and many businesses have gone down.   Property has been very fractured, with developments becoming prohibitively expensive, while other markets have boomed.   It hasn't been an easy ride, that's for sure.   However, the stock market has had some outstanding results, and for those who know how to trade, some have done VERY well for themselves.   Some have replaced their incomes. Some have set themselves up for the rest of their days on this planet.   How about you? How did you go?
