newbie question

[machiavelly]

I imported historical data from disktrading. When I try to load a chart with the instrument I just imported, the chart comes up blank. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,




What kind of data did you import?


Did you receive a message after importing?


What kind of chart are you attempting to build?


Are there any errors in your log tab?

What kind of data did you import?

I imported daily eur/usd currency data.

Did you receive a message after importing?

Yes, it says:

"EURA: Volume in line 2 is invalid since it is <=0. ... "

What kind of chart are you attempting to build?

I'm trying to set up a daily chart on the eur/usd going back two years.

Are there any errors in your log tab?

No errors


Thanks

Please ensure the data file you are trying to import has the proper syntax as outlined in this article: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...V6/Import.html

Is volume being 0 the problem in my data?

20061023;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;86

19790308;1.3531;1.3603;1.3531;1.3566;0

They say they have no volume data for forex and that it should work fine without it.

Thanks

Correct, however it should be automatically be replaced by a volume of 100.

What instrument is selected in the chart when it appears blank and what is the file name of the text file that contains the historical data?
