Bulk export of historical data?

[crosinator]

Hello,

I downloaded historical data for the nyse, nasdaq, etc... and I see an export tab in the historical data manager, but I do not see a way to select all securities and then hit the export button once and have all data for all securities exported in one shot. Is there a way to do that? I only see the capability to export one security at a time!?

Thanks,
Mark

Hello Mark,

Thank you for your post.

Within NinjaTrader 7 data exports must take place on an instrument by instrument basis. There is no way to export data from a group of instruments at once however this is something our development staff is considering adding support for in the future.

Hi,

I see this problem was raised a while ago. Has there been any progress to have this implemented?

Or.. is there any workaround or third party tool that allows you to export all historical data in a single task?

I am moving to a new computer and I'd like to migrate all my historical data, but it seems pretty inconvenient to have to do the export one by one?
Can I just not copy a file or database that's stored somewhere else in my computer?

Thank you!

Hello mickael28,

There have been no changes to how NinjaTrader 7 allows historical data to be exported since the original post. With that said, you could easily transfer data between copies of NinjaTrader by creating a backup instead of exporting data.

Please follow these steps to create a Backup Archive:

1. Disconnect from all connectivity providers (if connected) and from within the Control Center window select the File menu. Then select the menu Utilities and the menu item Backup...
2. The "Backup NinjaTrader" dialog window will appear
3. Select the items you wish to back up
4. Press the "Run Backup" button


To transfer the backup file to your other PC I would recommend using email, a USB drive or a file sharing utility like SendSpace.


After downloading the backup to your new PC, settings can be restored by following these steps:
1. From within the Control Center window select the File menu. Then select the menu Utilities and the Restore menu item.
2. Select the backup archive to restore from the "Restore" file dialog window
3. Press the "Open" button
