date format in strat analyzer

[trader3000a]

Please change the date format in all areas to a format that can be used in export files intended for import into other data software. day/month/year is the standard for data-driven applications. the "month/day/year" format in NT is "bad" for data applications and necessitates an awkward conversion phase in the users' process. day/month/year is "good".
thanks,
David

Whilst I agree there should be a "standard" date format in NT8 that matches a "well-defined" standard, the only real way to truly standardise this for everyone everywhere is to follow the relevant ISO standard, ISO 8601. That is what should be implemented.

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,

Thanks for your note.

To specify, this feature request is for the option to change the date format to either Day/Month/Year or Year/Month/Day and I have added your vote to this feature request.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Thanks, NinjaTrader_BrandonH ... but actually my vote is for the date format to conform to the international standard ISO 8601, since that really is the only way to ensure a standard date format that can be understood everywhere. Typically, that would be YYYY-MM-DD. If various optional formats are provided, the only one that is truly "unambiguous" is this ISO format.

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I have added a note to your feature request vote for the Development team explaining why you would like to have it changed to only Year/Month/Day so they may take it into consideration.

Please let me know if I may assist further.
