Cannot import historical data

[kelliel]

Hello - Using the help guide I am attempting to import tick data for the $EURUSD instrument from 2011. I have the data in the following format:

20101231 145959;1.337200;1.337200;1.337200;1.337200;0

I have named the file $EURUSD.last.txt however upon importing I get the following error:

$EURUSD.last.txt instrument is not supported by repository.

I have the following set for the imprt tab:

Ninja Trader (timestamps in import file(s) represent end of bar time
Data Type: Last
Time zone of imported data (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Generate 'Minute' bars from imported tick data

I added $EURUSD to the default list in the instrubment manager.

Not sure what I am doing wrong?

Hello kelliel,
Thanks for your note.

The correct format for tick data is, from our help guide:

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

Also the file name should be $EURUSD.Last.txt and not $EURUSD.last.txt
