Can't Import Metastock Format EOD data into Ninjatrader 8

[NinjaTrader_PatrickG]

The Development Team has made a change which will be included in a future release of NinjaTrader 8. Look for 12968 in the release notes when a new version is released:

Hi,

I am able reproduce what you're reporting - I am able to import this file in NT7 (with some errors), but the File Explorer in NT8 does not even recognize the file.

I am investigating this further with the Development Team and will update this post when I have more information. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Hi NinjaTrader_PatrickG,

Any update on the issue?

Thanks

Hi,

Could you attach a file to your next post which you've confirmed you're able to import into NinjaTrader but cannot import into NinjaTrader 8?

Hi NinjaTrader_PatrickG,

It is a folder which is too big to get attached.I have tried attaching Master file but upload window says Invalid file. So I am attaching file to my google drive and sharing link here.

Thanks for help.

I notice that the other files in your Windows File Explorer have their extensions listed following their name and a period. 'F214.DAT' for example.

Is the file's extension 'MASTER'? Or is that simply the file's name? If you change the file's name to 'test.MASTER', does the file appear in NinjaTrader's import window?

Hi NinjaTrader_PatrickG,

I tried renaming as you mentioned in your comment. Now it appeared in Ninjatrader Import Window? But still I can't import data as I experienced after clicking that Ninjatrader hanged and not responding.

Any solution for that.

I also would like to mention that in Ninjatrader 7 , I had no issues like this.

Thanks for reply and help

Hi,

I'm using Ninja Trader 7 for a long time.I have EOD data available in Metastock format. I can import the data of MetaStock Format into Ninja Trader 7. Then I thought about moving to Ninjatrader 8 platform, But When I tried Importing Metastock format EOD data into Ninjatrader 8, It doesn't show me MASTER file in Importing window. I am attaching Screenshots of Folder(Where my MASTER file has recorded) and Ninjatrader 8 Import Window where i can't see MASTER file.

Please Help.

Thanks in Advance.
