I've done my best converting the historical data to the appropriate form in accordance with the Import section of the online help guide. therefore I'm quite mystified by the persistent error message - Illegal timestamp in line 1. could somebody please tell me what's wrong the following historcal data?
20051003 050000 ; 199.86 ; 199.86 ; 199.82 ; 199.86 ; 9
20051003 050500 ; 199.93 ; 199.93 ; 199.93 ; 199.93 ; 1
20051003 051000 ; 199.94 ; 199.95 ; 199.93 ; 199.94 ; 5

thank you Josh! thank you Ninjatrader Dierk! after more than a dozen times of converting, fixing errors and re-converting, I was finally able to import the historical data. this is a lot more hassles than I had been prepared to deal with. a task that I thought should only take a couple of minutes turned out to be colossal. Ninjatrader is so unforgiving that it only accepts one form of past data, I had great 'fun' figuring out how to use excel and word to shape the data into acceptable form by Ninjatrader. and it stops at every single error, no matter how minuscule it is. all in all, this import feature is a huge disappointment for such a sophisticated software. I hope it won't always be like this.
thank you guys again for helping me.
best regards
