Steps to replicate:
Version: 8.0.15.1 64-bit
1.) Create a new cryptocurrency instrument that is not yet available in Ninjatrader
e.g.
Master instrument: ELFBTC
Instrument type: CryptoCurrency
Currency: US Dollar
Exchanges: Default
Point value: 1
Merge Policy: Use global settings
Trading hours: 24/7
Tick size: 0.00001
Symbol Map
External: ELFBTC
Leave rest to default
2.) Prepare data for this instrument
3.) Import it using Import -> Historical Data (default settings)
4.) After importing the data, a new instrument with the same name (in this particular case ELFBTC) is created by of type Stock. When you try to load data in the chart, it actually uses the stock instrument settings. This happens over and over again.
It does not happen for cryptocurrencies that are available in NinjaTrader by default such as ETHBTC or LTCBTC
