What it is
ReplayForge is a NinjaTrader 8 add-on that appears in the main NT8 menu, right below Historical Data. It automates bulk downloading of Market Replay data for a date range using NinjaTrader’s own downloader — so you no longer repeat the same routine for every day and every instrument.
Why
Downloading Market Replay data by hand is tedious: one instrument and one day at a time, re-checking what you already have, and dealing with contract changes. ReplayForge does all of that for you.
Key features
- In the NT8 main menu — added right below Historical Data; no chart required.
- Whole period at once — set an instrument plus From/To dates and let it run.
- No full contract needed — enter just the instrument root (e.g.
ES,NQ); ReplayForge resolves the correct contract automatically. - Smart skip — checks which days in the range are already downloaded and does not re-download them.
- Rollover-aware — if the contract changes within the period, ReplayForge detects the rollover and downloads across all contracts that fall in the range.
- Standard downloader — uses NinjaTrader’s own Market Replay downloader under the hood: same data, no workarounds.
- Convenience options such as skipping weekends, plus a live queue/progress view with per-day status and sizes.
Requirements
- NinjaTrader 8 with a data connection that provides Market Replay / historical data.

FAQ

Will it re-download data I already have? No — it checks the range and skips days already present.
What if the contract rolls over inside my date range? ReplayForge detects the rollover and downloads across the relevant contracts.
