Hi - getting weird spikes in the price feed (see pic), using NT 6.5 and PFGBests's PFGAPI connector, tried reinstalling both, still getting the spikes, PFG says they can't duplicate it, any ideas?
Only happens live, historical data looks ok, just started after starting up NT this Sunday, and it happens on two different computers (one XP, one Win7)...
Thanks
Jay
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I would suggest updating to the latest NinjaTrader version, since you're running 6.5 and 7.0 is out of beta.
NinjaTrader made some updates to the PFGBest feed with these newer versions since 6.5 - perhaps this will solve your problems. For example, according to their changelog ( Release Notes ):
Might be worth checking out because these fixed errors could be related to the problem you experience.
Thanks for your reply, Jura - I would like to upgrade except that my market replay data from
6.5 (abt 18 mos. worth) is not importable into NT 7...and the problem just started this week,
after that many months of working fine...
That is indeed weird, because these bugfixes are quite what older. You can't run NT6.5 and NT7.0 at the same time, but they can be installed on the same pc. Would that be somewhat of an solution for you? Perhaps you can then save the new Market Replay data in NT7.0, while still using NT6.5 after hours for replaying and testing.
I'm having the same weird experience even on NT7.0.1000.5 as at the time of this post. I never had it last week; can't understand what's happening to their feed.
Thanks for the reply Lolu, glad it's not just me. I posted on the Ninjatrader support forum, they verified it,
and it seems to me to be specific to EURUSD, although I only tested GBPJPY as an alternative. I emailed PFGBest and they have not yet responded as of 10pm EST
When I told NT I had this problem a while back they said I was the only customer they had that reported this.
When I posted it on futures.io (formerly BMT) the NT Prez got his feelings hurt and said I had taken their statement out of context and was just bad mouthing them.
So if they admit it's a problem and they haven't blamed it on you yet... count yourself lucky.
Now I'm waiting for NT to flame me over this post.
I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.
My daddy always said, "Every day above ground is a good day!"
While I have never used NT, I seem to only hear more and more negative views regarding a variety of issue with it. That sucks about the support. I hate when they act like you are the only one with the issue. Lots of brokers are bad for that too (not all though, thankfully.)
