import Futures backfill from SierraChart

[zweistein]

Hello,

I had trouble with my futures backfill in NT, and therefore I decided to use the futures backfill from Sierrachart.
Unfortunately the file format is a bit different, but this morning I wrote a conversion routine and it does:
1. Convert SierraChart exported txt data into NT compatible data.
2. You must select Minute Data in Sierrachart Data configuration.
3. Alignment might be wrong by 1 minute, I had no time to check this...
4. I hope this is helpfull to the comunity and please feel free to send improvments

14:19

5. Fixed, Data alignment changed: SC time+1 Minute= NT time
because SC sets bar time at the beginning of the bar period and not at the end like NT

Yes, feel free to modify the code I posted in this thread. I am not making a living from coding, so please ask a consultant if you need your own tailored solution. I was in contact with a NT consultant also (time ago for speechlib), and it is not expensive.

Best regards
