ASCII End of Day data importing Problem

[Branpo]

Hi guys,
im not sure why i cant import the historical data file i attached.
Can you please tell me what i need to change here?
I used the Data format:
yyyyMMdd;Open;High;Low;Close;Volume

I recieve the following error in the log file:
2020-01-23 18:36:11:535|3|4|Import type 'MetaStock': Error on calling 'OnStateChange' method: The directory does not contain any MetaStock files.

Thanks a lot!

Hello Branpo,

The error states this file is not a metastock file.

In the Format drop-down what is selected?


Also, are you trying to import data from 1980 or 2080?

Yes thats correct i selected Metastock File. Do I need to use the other option? if I select Ninja beginning / end of bar time stamp i recieve the following error:
2020-01-23 19:17:55:462|3|16|Import type 'NinjaTrader (beginning of bar timestamps)': Error on calling 'OnNextInstrument' method: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

at NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.ImportTypes.ImportType.Imp ort(MarketDataType marketDataType, TimeZoneInfo sourceTimeZoneInfo, Boolean generateMinuteBars, Boolean generateDailyBars, IProgress progress)

The data is from 1980 onbviously since i dont have a crystal ball

Did you check the file i attached?

Hello Branpo,

This does not appear to be a metastock file.

Did you download this from metastock?

This appears to me to be a NinjaTrader (end of bar timestamps) type historical data file.

The file attached may be showing data from 1983 and not 1980 so I cannot confirm it should be 02-80.
