Downloading historical data

[KDTrade]

Attached is a picture of historical data:

I know the left most number is the date then time but what exactly is everything else?

Also is it possible to download data of 500 ticks instead of each individual tick?

Hello KDTrade,

There is no picture attached to your post.

In the Tools -> Historical Data window, the columns are noted Date, Time, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume.

You can open a chart with the Type set to Tick, 'Load data based' on set to Bars, and the 'Bars to load' set to 500.

Or you can load multiples of days of historical tick data from a connected provider in the Historical Data window.

Hi Chelsea, thanks for the reply, the picture should be attached now.

I'm looking to export data of 500 ticks instead of each tick as can be seen in the image, thank you.

Hello KDTrade,

I possibly looks like you are trying to export historical data to a text file and not download historical data from a connected data provider.

Data can be exported as tick, minute, or day. NinjaTrader cannot export aggregated ticks. Nor can import aggregated ticks.

Below is a link to the help guide on exported historical data text file formats.
