please tell me how to download historical price data

please tell me how to download several years of historical forex eurusd daily data [ie] date, open, high, low, close for each day.

Hi joemiller,

Historical data is downloaded automatically from your datafeed provider (where available) when anything on NinjaTrader requests historical data. You can increase the number of days to load on a chart by right-clicking on a chart, left-clicking Data Series, then changing the 'Days to load' property to the number of days you'd like to request from your datafeed provider.

If you're referring to Market Replay data, see the following:

i have daily eurusd going back to 1993 on my pc, which i think i downloaded from kinetick end of day. i downloaded it several months ago & now i want to update the file but i forget how to do it.

please advise.

[NinjaTrader_AlexC]

Hi joemiller,

You would connect to Kinetick End-of-Day, create a $EURUSD Daily chart, and set your number of Days to load to a very large number (say, 30,000) to grab all of the available end-of-day data available from Kinetick End-of-Day, after which it will be stored on your hard drive.

i use the data as input to a visual basic program.
each data file record structure is as displayed in the
following 7 records .....

20150507;1.13465;1.13915;1.1325;1.1348
20150506;1.1184;1.1369;1.11735;1.13455
20150505;1.1144;1.1222;1.10655;1.1184
20150504;1.11875;1.12235;1.11215;1.1144
20150501;1.1223;1.1289;1.11735;1.11925
20150430;1.1127;1.1265;1.107;1.12225
20150429;1.0979;1.11865;1.0958;1.11265

if i remember correctly i downloaded the data from ninja?
if i could have done so, please tell me how i probably did it.

[NinjaTrader_AlexC]

Hi joemiller,

If the data came from Kinetick End-of-Day (which is built-in to NinjaTrader) as you describe, then this would have been the method used to download that data.

[joemiller]

please tell me the location of the downloaded data.
i'm guessing it is somewhere in the ninja folder?

[NinjaTrader_AlexC]

Hi joemiller,

Historical data is stored in the (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\db folder, within the 'minute', 'tick', and 'day' subfolders.

[joemiller]

the file looks like --> i@(�@ŻX5 —Ŕ(‘>Ŕ&UĆ i@(�@ŻX5

instead of like --> 20150507;1.13465;1.13915;1.1325;1.1348

is there any other way i could have downloaded the info?
i am just about dead certain i got it from kinetick

[NinjaTrader_AlexC]

Hi joemiller,

That's difficult to say. Suffice it to say, if you did get it from Kinetick, it would have been via the method I mentioned below.

[joemiller]

please tell me how to communicate with kinetick

[NinjaTrader_AlexC]

Hi joemiller,

The contact form for Kinetick is located here:

my downloaded file was NinjaTrader.sdf
how do I open the sdf file? I have unsuccessfully tried many methods.

[NinjaTrader_AlexC]

Hi joemiller,

NinjaTrader.sdf is the database file containing several types of data, including items such as historical order information (such as times and prices in which trades were placed). That said, historical chart data would not be one of the items contained within that file. There is not a supported way for someone to open this file.

Any downloaded historical data will appear in the 'minute', 'tick', and 'day' subfolders in the (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\db folder.

fyi

''please tell me how to download several years of historical forex eurusd daily data [ie] date, open, high, low, close for each day''
