Hello everybody,
How do I import historical data in NinjaTrader? Until now I've spend some 4 hours to import a half year worth of data, but it just doesn't work.
Here's what I've done so far:
- Manually converted the historical data to NinjaTrader format. My file looks now like this:
20060102 090100;3602.00;3603.00;3597.00;3599.00;5699
20060102 090200;3600.00;3601.00;3598.00;3599.00;894
20060102 090300;3599.00;3602.00;3598.00;3600.00;883
20060102 090400;3599.00;3599.00;3597.00;3597.00;726
20060102 090500;3597.00;3598.00;3596.00;3598.00;1085
20060102 090600;3598.00;3599.00;3597.00;3598.00;963
20060102 090700;3597.00;3599.00;3597.00;3598.00;1082
20060102 090800;3599.00;3599.00;3597.00;3599.00;350
- Created a new 'master instrument' in the 'instrument manager'.
- Tried to import the file with the historical data: failed. Tried giving it different names, and tried to make different 'master instruments' -> didn't help.
My latest errors:

I've tried to name a 'master instrument' "FESX_H1_06" with the file names of the .txt files, that didn't work. I've also tried to name another 'master instrument' "HFESX", and the accordingly file names, also didn't work.
If I call the file name with the historical data "FESX.txt" it does get imported, however if I then bring up a new chart, manually enter the start and end dates of the data import, I get a completely blank chart.
So either way it doesn't work.
I even tried to import the data with the PC clock turned back to 2006, this didn't help.
I also searched in the forum, and looked at this page, http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...de.html?Import , however, I couldn't find any suggestion on how to proceed.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
Regards,
Jos
