    Import Historical Data

    Hi,

    I am performing the import of historical data on NT8 as specified below:
    https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...?importing.htm

    I'm using the minutes bar format to import the historical data:
    The format is:
    yyyyMMdd HHmmss;open price;high price;low price;close price;volume

    Sample data:
    20061023 004400;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;86
    20061023 004500;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;27
    20061023 004600;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;24
    20061023 004700;1377.50;1377.50;1377.25;1377.25;82
    The data is being imported successfully, but not in its entirety.
    In the attached example, I have minute data for the date 20200414, starting at 09:00:00 and ending at 17:55:00 (24h format), for the instrument WDOGBF that i've created.
    However, when I open the chart, the data starts at 10:31:00 and ends at 16:59:00.

    The steps and settings I used to import the data are:

    1) I created a .txt file with the data to be imported called "WDOGBF.Last.txt".
    2) Tools > Import > Historical Data:
    Format: Ninjatrader (end of bars timestamp)
    Data Type: Last
    Time Zone of imported Data: (UTC -03:00) Brasília - I tried different Time Zone, but it didn't work.

    PS: My NT8 Time Zone in Tools > Options > General is also configured to (UTC-03:00) Brasília.

    I am also attaching the instrument that I registered "WDOGBF" so that it can be analyzed.

    Please can you help me with this problem?

    Tks.

    Your instrument screenshot is of a future but the chart is showing a stock. I suspect a stock instrument has been created for WDOGBF which has a trading hours template that is restricting the data on your chart.

    If you look through your instruments, do you find a stock and a future for WDOGBF?

    If you right click on your chart > Data series > Change 'Trading hours' to 'Default 24/7 > OK, do you see all expected data?

      Hello PatrickG,

      If you right click on your chart > Data series > Change 'Trading hours' to 'Default 24/7 > OK, do you see all expected data?
      I changed the Trading Hours setting in the Data Series of the chart and the values ​​were displayed in full.

      Thank you!
