Convert excel tick data to NT data

[kure_gtr]

Hi

I would like to use range charts and tick charts. I am able to get bloomberg tick data in excel.

How do I convert this so that I can use NT to view the charts?

Thanks

Hello kure_gtr,

You can manually import historical data as per the instructions at the link below.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/importing.htm

The data needs to be in a specific format or else the data cannot be imported. You can see the supported data formats under 'Understanding import file and data formats'.

If you import futures or forex data, the instrument needs to be added in NinjaTrader before you import data. The instrument needs to be added in the Instrument Manager using a 'Master instrument' name that is the same as the .txt file name you import.
You can add instruments in the Instrument Manager. Please go to Control Center-->Tools-->Instrument Manager and click New.
