Can't view imported data on Chart

[ccbiasi]

Hello.

I am trying to use WINFUT (mini Ibovespa) on NinjaTrader 7 in order to follow a tutorial on NinjaTrader 7. I already used mini Ibovespa successfully on NinjaTrader 8, where it is named WIN. First I configured the instrument in Instrument Manager and added the instrument WINFUT to list BM&F. Then, I imported the data through Historical Data Manager > Start Import. The historical data was imported successfully. Finally, I created a new Chart, I chose WINFUT and a Chart appeared. However, it is blank. Where is the data I imported? I am using a file named WINFUT.Last.txt, which refers to October 2017. Below are the first few lines:

20171002 090040;74845;55
20171002 090040;74845;1010
20171002 090040;74845;11
20171002 090040;74845;11
20171002 090040;74845;99

Thank you,
Claudio

It sounds like you created a custom instrument.

Mini Ibovespa is configured in NinjaTrader 7's database by default. The instrument name is 'WIN'.

In either case, since this is a future you'll need to include the contract month that you're importing in the name of the file when you import.

For example, if this it is the October contract month then the naming convention would be 'WINFUT 10-17.Last.txt'. If this is continuous contract data then the file would need to be named 'WINFUT ##-##.Last.txt'.
