Importing Data from Metastock

[NinjaTrader_Chip]

Hello trumpy,

Thank you for your post.

For importing historical data into NinjaTrader, make sure to note the following:
• If you are importing historical data for a futures or Forex instrument, the instrument MUST exist in the Instrument Manager and if it does not, you must add it first
• Any data imported where the instrument does not exist in the Instrument Manager will automatically be imported as a "Stock" instrument type
• NinjaTrader bar time stamps are end of bar. This means that a 9:31 bar consists of data from 9:30:00 through 9:30:59. Please ensure that your source data time stamps are in line with this.
• Data points will be rounded to the instruments tick size as it is imported if the price is no evenly divisible by the instruments tick size

Please review this reference that details the correct format 7 steps for import & let me know which is causing an issue:
