Market Replay for Day Trading Practice

I am always looking for ways to help new students practice their trading when it’s easy and convenient for them.  With full-time jobs, kids out of school, and other daily commitments keeping us busy during the week, I was looking for the easiest way to record the market and watch it again when it was convenient for me.

Here’s an easy way to record the market on your Ninja Trader 7 platform and then transferring that data onto another computer, such as a laptop, on your way to swimming lessons with the kids, or the office on Monday morning.

This process can be broken into 4 steps:

Step 1:  Download the replay data using Ninja Trader 7 inside the control center.  Select File / Utilities / Download Replay Data.  You will want to select the Symbol of the market you wish to download, including the date.  Please be aware that you can only download 1 day of data at a time, so if you want to replay a week of data you will need to record 5 days using this tool.  You will be notified when the download is complete.
