i download from rithmic from demo , it gives random historical times diferrent from what i ask every single time. is this normal when download historicals fron ninjatrader?
perhaps you need to change your timezone setting,
first delete all the content in this folder: C:\Users<username>\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\db\tick and then set your trading timezone setting here: NT8 control center → tools → Trading Hours and retry downloading historical data again, don’t forget to set the chart to the trading hours in the data series window
hope this helps.

Yes, this is normal behavior when using Rithmic demo data, and it isn’t a NinjaTrader bug.
What you’re seeing is caused by how Rithmic demo servers handle historical tick data.
Rithmic demo does not guarantee consistent historical tick delivery. Each time you request history, the data can come from different backend nodes or cached segments, which means the start time, number of bars, and exact timestamps can vary even when you ask for the same period.
