Exporting Historical Data

[Matheyas5]

Hi NT8,

Three questions regarding exporting historical data from NT8:

1. Can the resulting export have timestamps from my computers local timezone? Or will the resulting export always have UTC timestamps?
2. Is it possible to export multiple instruments at once?
3. Is it possible to export the Bid, Ask and Last (circled in red in attached 1.jpg) all at once into three separate CSVs (one CSV for the Bid, one CSV for the Ask, and one CSV for the Last)?

Cheers

Hello Matheyas5,

Exported data will always be in UTC time.
(This is so that it can be imported on a new computer in any other time zone)

No, it is not possible to export multiple instruments at once.

Yes, it is possible to export Ask, Bid, and Last, in separate files, by exporting these separately and selecting the type you want for that export in the Data Type drop-down.

Below is a link to the NinjaTrader 8 help guide on exporting historical data.

Yes, it is possible to export Ask, Bid, and Last, in separate files, by exporting these separately and selecting the type you want for that export in the Data Type drop-down.

Would I need to do this three separate times (once for each file)? Or could I get all three files to export at once?

I ask because it becomes relatively time consuming to do this three separate times for each instrument (assuming I'm exporting data for dozens of different instruments).

Hello Matheyas5,

Yes, you must export these separately (one at a time).

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

Unfortunately I have not been able to replicate this behavior.

I would like to take a closer look at your configuration.

Please send me your log and trace files so that I may look into what occurred.

You can do this by going to the Control Center-> Help-> Email Support

Ensuring 'Log and Trace Files' is checked will include these files. This is checked by default.
