NT7 unresponsive when updating splits & dividends

[dolomite]

When connected to Yahoo, if I go into the Instrument Manager, select a stock and enter the Instrument Editor > Misc tab and select "Update splits & dividends", NT7 becomes unresponsive, requiring a termination of the NT process via Windows Task Manager.

I've not had this issue in the past.

Hello dolomite,
This feature is no longer supported by the Yahoo adapter. You will need to obtain a data feed that will support this feature.

So if I'm understanding you correctly, Yahoo still provides feed data, but no longer provides dividend and split data in a way that NT can access?

Is there a way to get series of splits or dividends into the Instrument Editor's Collection editor from a text file or spreadsheet? Yahoo still provides split and dividend data on their website, so I can download it, but from a practical perspective, would need a faster way to get that data into the Collection editor than entering each individual split or dividend manually.

Hello dolomite,

Split and dividend data is stored in the NinjaTrader database and cannot be exported.

Hello dolomite,

Split and dividend data is stored in the NinjaTrader database and cannot be exported.

I'm asking about importing into the NT database, not exporting out of it.

Using the Collection editor, I can manually add split and dividend data one entry at a time. I'm asking if there's a quicker way to import this data, e.g., from a text or csv file.

Hello dolomite,

You can import historical data through the Historical Data Manager. If the imported data is split adjusted the values will reflect the split.
