Can't Import Metastock Format EOD data into Ninjatrader 8

Could you provide the most up-to-date version of the file which you can import into NinjaTrader 7 but cannot import into NinjaTrader 8?

Hi,

Could you provide the most up-to-date version of the file which you can import into NinjaTrader 7 but cannot import into NinjaTrader 8?

Yes here you go.

Attached in Gdrive because of invalid file error in upload section.

Also uploading folder where it gets recorded and updated everyday

I experience the same. I can import these files into NinjaTrader 7 but they do not successfully import into NinjaTrader 8.

It seems as if the entire folder '01m' is critical to importing data successfully. I have created a new case for Development to review, the internal tracking number is QA-3976.

I'll follow up when I have more information. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Hi NinjaTrader_PatrickG,

How are you? Is there any update regarding the issue?

[NinjaTrader_PatrickG]

The tracking number is now 13060 and is scheduled to be included in an upcoming release of NinjaTrader 8. When you see 13060 in the release notes, this issue has been resolved.

Hi,



Yes, I can import that same data in Ninjatrader 7 with same method.

Hi abhishek72457,
Im using NT7 and getting same error as you whe trying to import data from MS.
Already created missing tickers on instrument manager but still cant get the data loaded when i set to open a chart.
Do you use a txt file with MS data or used MASTER file??
Thanks in advance.

Hello guillux,

Thank you for your note.

When using the NinjaTrader format, the name of the text file to be imported must be the NinjaTrader instrument name followed by a period and "Last", "Bid", or "Ask" depending on the data type. For example:

MSFT.Last.txt for Microsoft stock last price data

ES 12-09.Bid.txt for the S&P E-mini December contract bid price data

$EURUSD.Ask.txt for the Euro/U.S. dollar currency pair ask price data

Let us know if further questions come up.

I used Master file. Also Try to check if there were errors while you are importing data.
