Problem importing historical data

[altjt]

I'm using NinjaTrader 7.0.0.22.

I read in the help guide http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...de.html?Import

to import historical data in the format

yyyyMMdd HHmmss;open price;high price;low price;close price;volume
ie.
20061023 004400;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;86

I try importing data in the format

20091228 073000;1125.25;1125.75;1124.75;1124.75;5247.00
20091228 073100;1124.75;1125.00;1124.00;1124.25;4078.00
20091228 073200;1124.50;1124.50;1124.00;1124.25;2292.00
20091228 073300;1124.25;1124.75;1124.00;1124.50;2374.00

and get the error "Format error in line 0: Input string was not in a correct format,

Is this fixed in the RC, or is it a problem with my data?

Hi altjt,

Thank you for your post.

The issue is with the data you are importing.

The final value in the import data file is supposed to be a volume, but in your example the final value has decimal places indicating it can not be a volume.

20091228 073300;1124.25;1124.75;1124.00;1124.50;2374.00

What you will want to do is on that last column remove the .00 portion and then you should be able to import.

Thanks for your help Ryan.

Changed the formatting on the volume and it worked perfectly.
