[bagzi]

Hello,

I would like to ask is there a way to upload historical data from Trade Navigator into Ninnja trader and if so how?

Thanks

Hello bagzi,

Unfortunately not, historical data is not supported with MBTrading as per the link below.

OK, than do you know how much intraday data is provided by those other providers such as Esignal, IB, Zenfire etc? I would like to use your Market replay ability and i need to fill in the data from somewhere, so i am thinking on taking a trial from one of these. Could u suggest the one with most data?

Thanks

Hello bagzi,

Unfortunately I do not have such information listed on my end. I suggest to contact the data feed providers regarding this inquiry.

OK, im trying to import a data as txt file and prepared it to be in right format. However, i get the log message "Instrument is not supported by repository". Im not sure how to name the txt file, it is a continuous contract exported from Trade Navigator.

Hi bagzi,

Thank you for your reply.

You receive this message when importing the data or when trying to view a chart?

Actually i managed to import data, just named the file ES.txt This was daily data, still working on 5 minutes.

thanks

Ok, finaly i managed to prepare the intraday file for import but i cant load the data. Log file says Illegal timestamp in line 1. Not sure if it matters but the data are 5 minutes. Can they be loaded into Ninja?

Hello bagzi,

Unfortunately not, the data format needs to be in the format listed at the link below (1 minute).

Sample data:
20061023 004400;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;86
20061023 004500;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;27
20061023 004600;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;24
20061023 004700;1377.50;1377.50;1377.25;1377.25;82

OK thanks. I have the 1 min data from tickdata in txt but it will take forever for me to get it into right format. I would like to ask, if I have a 1 min data in correct format, and occasionally a minute or two is missing from the file, would Ninja load it anyway or do i need to go over entire file and input the missing data?

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

If the .txt file misses data, it should not be an issue upon importing the file. You will just not display data for these time stamps.

Hello,

I am new to ninja trade and I am trying to import data.

Is it possible to import 60 minutes bar data? Or is there any way I can use 60 minutes data with Ninja Trader?

Thanks.

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

Hello tunitytrends,

Unforunately you cannot import '60 minutes bar data'. You can import '1 minute bar data' as per the instructions at the link below.

Subsequently you can create 60 minute bar charts in NinjaTrader from the minute data you imported.
