Quote from HighSea:
Ray,
When using Kinetick to backtest, will NinjaTrader form price bar from individual ticks, so I get each price fluctuation as if I were running live in the market?
Thanks

The data provider is independent of your question. Your question is really after how our backtest engine works.
- We have a Market Replay feature that allows you to run a strategy against historical tick by tick data which emulates real time. Our replay engine works only off of real time recorded data. Any external historical data source will not work for this.
- NinjaTrader will not replay each individual tick within a bar during a backtest however, you can run a multi-series backtest using a 1 tick series as example to gain intrabar granularity.
