Importing Historical Data from NT7 to NT8

[starcd]

I wonder how i can migrate old historical Data from my NT7 to NT8. I missed using the migration tool that was started by the first NT8 installation.

Hello starcd,

Thank you for your post.

You should be able to manually export your data from NinjaTrader 7 and then manually import it into NinjaTrader 8 via the Historical data windows.

I know but I have years of future data (minute an tick) and want to avoid to to this for every Futute rollover timeframe... Is there a way to start the migration tool manualy. I tried copying the the data but that doesn't work. Or should I uninstall NT8 and install it again to start the tool?

Hello starcd,

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately there's not a way to manually begin the migration tool. You could uninstall NinjaTrader 8 and reinstall it, but you'll need to be sure to do a complete reinstall or the migration tool would not be triggered.

Please follow the steps listed below to completely uninstall and reinstall NinjaTrader.

• If possible, copy your license key from the Control Center > Help > License Key.
• Close all running applications.
• Navigate to your Documents folder > Right click on the 'NinjaTrader 8' folder > Rename > rename the folder to 'NinjaTrader 8 OLD'. DO NOT delete this folder.
• Uninstall NinjaTrader within Windows Control Panel.
• Navigate to C:\ > Program File (x86) > Delete the 'NinjaTrader 8' folder if it exists
• Reboot your PC.
• Once these steps are completed, download and install NT8 from the link below.
