How to import my discretionary trade into chart from trade history text file

[babyjinja]

I am very new to Ninja Trader!

I am trying to plot trade history in the chart, since my broker is not supported by Ninja I am planning to import my trade history through a formatted text file.

I can prepare a text file containing following data

<time>, <instrument>, <buy/sell>, <price>

but not sure about next step, how can I go about this?

Hello babyjinja,

You can import historical data using .txt files as per the information at the link below.

Please note that the data needs to be in a certain format which you can see under 'Understanding import file and data formats'. The format you list is unfortunately not supported.

Jason,

Thanks for the pointer. That help page talks about importing historical data, I want to import my trades, so that I can visualize them with buy arrows and sell arrows.

Unfortunately this is not supported.

You can manually insert executions in NinjaTrader as per the link below.

However you can only do one execution per time. It is not supported to import multiple executions at once.

Okay! I am going to place arrows manually...to visualize.
Thanks for your time Jason!
