Creating and accessing historical tick data files

[kaydgee]

Hi!

I have access to historical tick data in several markets and would like to input those data into NT for use in backtesting strategies.


Is there a guide to the proper format of tick data so that I can create my own custom historical files?

Also, how does NT know which source of historical data to use when it is both connected to a historical data provider and populated with its own historical data file.\? Can I specify which source to use for backtesting?

all the best,

Ken

Kaydgee, please work alongside those guidelines here - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...V6/Import.html

NT takes the data from the database first and if the request can't be fulfilled and it's connected live it will 'ask' the provider to supply it -
