[mamz2006]

Dears,
I installed Ninja trader 7 on my labtop running windows 7 ultimate 32-bit
I uploaded stock symbols list and the messahe is " successful "
Then when I go to historical data manager to load the data, it works but an arreor message popp up saying :

"" there have been errors on displaying instrument list. please check the log ""

I am attaching here a copy of log file, trace file and metastock data file that trying to import.

Further, there is no built in within ninja trader any exchange that match our local stock market that can be associated with m just in case this affect any thing. So I do not know how to associate my data.

Please help me getting my data to ninja trader successfully.
Best regards,

Thanks Eric for response
I am in Saudi Arabia and I am trading our local exchange market (www(dot)tadawul(dot)com.sa/)
and I am having local data feed program that feeds all other programs like metastock, amibroker, wealth lab, etc. EOD & Interaday all in metastock data format without any problem.
I am trying to use this same data to Ninjatrader 7
Same data I attached to my first post.

but I get the error of "" there have been errors on displaying instrument list. please check the log ""

Hello mamz2006,

The log file shows many errors messages which clarify why the data cannot be imported. Unfortunately the Close value is not valid for many data lines.

5/3/2015 6:28:42 PM|3|4|8270: Illegal close value in line 94. Close value needs to smaller/equal high value:
5/3/2015 6:28:42 PM|3|4|8270: Illegal close value in line 104. Close value needs to smaller/equal high value:
5/3/2015 6:28:42 PM|3|4|8270: Illegal close value in line 107. Close value needs to greater/equal low value:

You would need to modify the historical data so the Close value is not smaller/equal than the High value or greater/equal than the Low value. For example, it needs to be like below:

2072.00 - 2075.00 - 2070.00 - 2072.50 (Open, High, Low, Close)

The error message indicates the data you try to import uses for example:

2072.00 - 2075.00 - 2070.00 - 2076.00 --> Close is higher than High

2072.00 - 2075.00 - 2070.00 - 2068.00 --> Close is lower than Low

The data needs to be in a correct format before it can be imported in NinjaTrader.

Thank you Jason,
After your last message I relized the problem.
What actualy is happining is that the exchange auithorties change the closing price of all stocks in the market based on the average of last 15 minutes of the market time.
That is to control the playaround of some stock holders not to increase the share price at the end of the market session.
This is not the right solution for the problem I think, but this is what is being done unfortunately which alters the actual session prices(data)

As a favor from you and other collegue, do you know any software that can be programmed to collect daily data and stop before the alteration or change take place ?
They change the data after closing by 2-3 seconds.

I appreciate your help
Thanks

Thank you for clarifying.

Unfortunately we are not aware of such software. I suggest to check with MetaStock if they are aware of a solution to avoid the Close price from changing.
