First of all, thanks to you and the NinjaTrader team for sharing the ‘ChartToCSV’ script. I think it will be helpful for many users.
Now, If possible, I would like to request to have the opposite version of this script that would be one that when you previously have the data in a CSV or Excel document (.XLSX/.XLS) it would plot the data in a chart, i.e. a kind of ‘CSVtoChart’ script that makes something like the inverse process that ChartToCSV actually makes.
For example in actual my case, I have supplementary data in CSV or even in .XLSX files that I need to get it plotted in a chart to complement a main graph that is in a NT8 chart.
The data in the Excel file could come for example from an indicator not available in NinjaTrader 8 or similar situations about data that comes outside NT8, data in a similar format like the one you show in the video tutorial of ChartToCSV, or as the 1st attached picture below.
As reference, I tried to get a solution with the posted in the next old thread with the ‘ExcelToNT.cs’ but the NT8 NinjaScript Editor does not even allowed me to compile the code into that .cs file (2nd attached picture below), and I couldn’t tried that script, however it doesn’t seem a clean easy-to-follow solution as the user says in the post:

I also know there are alternatives like ‘SampleStreamReader_NT8.zip’ but that would be more focused to import data for calculation purposes and not to plot the data into a chart as seems that ‘ExcelToNT.cs’ could be able to do.

I hope it would be possible to develop a so useful tool like this
Thank you in advance!
