First, you need to download the market data, which you can only download 1 day at a time, and then when you go to playback mode it's just not very user-friendly and easy to do backtesting. This is why most NinjaTrader users give up on backtesting, it is just too much work. But surely. there must be a way to do this faster and more easily right?   Bar Replay makes backtesting fun again Meet our Bar replay indicator. The ONLY indicator for Ninjatrader which makes backtesting fun again. No need anymore to download any data, no need to switch to a different playback connection. Quickly go to the next or previous bar(s) and place orders like you are used to. But.. there is more... the indicator gives you ALL the important metrics or all trades you make. In real-time!
