    DataTools error

    Hi,

    I am user DataTools historical database (www.premiumdata.net) and NinjaTrader Beta v7.0.0.4. But I can not import the data. Error log:

    Display of instruments failed: The directory does not contain any MetaStock files.

    and

    Unable to access MetaStock data directory: The directory does not contain any MetaStock files.

    According DataTools help:

    The DataTools historical database is held in a Y2K-compliant "MetaStock" format, which accommodates security names of up to 45 characters. The data can be accessed by any third-party charting or analysis program that recognises this format. The fields contain “Date” (with century), “Open”, “High”, “Low”, “Close” (Settlement), “Volume” and “Open Interest”.

    Note: DataTools uses 10 characters to define symbols for individual futures contracts. Some older charting or analysis programs can only read "MetaStock" symbols up to 8 characters.


    Please, could you help me?

    The data format of this vendor may not be compatible with the one NT is supporting. To analyze please send you zipped data file(s) to "support AT ninjatrader DOT com", subject "for Dierk" and reference this thread. Thanks
