Inserting historical data to NJ from text file using C#

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hi smyaseen,

Hi,

I need to develop a C# program which insert the historical data (date, time, high, low, close, volume) from a txt or csv file to NJ. I tried to use Ninjatrader.Client.dll but unable to import historical data row. Please help.

Are you wanting to import the data as historical data so that the data appears on your chart? Or are you just wanting to read the values into memory for use with an indicator without saving this as historical data?

If you are wanting to import the data as historical data:
You can manually import historical data as per the instructions at the link below.
http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h.../importing.htm

Please note that the data needs to be in a certain format, see below.
Tick Format
Each tick must be on its own line and fields must be separated by semicolon (.

The format is:
yyyyMMdd HHmmss;price;volume
Sample data:
20061107 000431;1383.00;1
20061107 000456;1383.25;25
20061107 000456;1383.25;36
20061107 000537;1383.25;14


If you are wanting to read the data from the file to store in memory and use for an indicator without importing the data as historical data, you can do this with the StreamReader.

Below is a link to an official reference sample on using StreamReader.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
