Hi:

Are you attempting to import historical minute data or tick data?

If you are attempting to import tick data, this is not possible while using TS.

If this is for minute data, can you provide exact steps to re-produce?

I can further consult with development on how to proceed.

Minute data.
1.Went to TS and in a 1m chart atached the strat that has saved the data.
2.In NJ went to tools then imported the file that has been generated by the above strategy. All goes well but the data refuses to show up on my charts.

Hi:

Thank you for clarifying.

For which forex instrument are you attempting to import the historical data? Please let me know.

I will test your scenario on my pc tomorrow and report back to you my results and why it is not working successfully for you.

Hi:

Thanks for your patience.

I tested this on my pc today and it works as expected.

Make sure that before you attempt the import instructions that you imported the NinjaTrader.ELD file.

Instructions can be found here:

I, too have a problem with displaying imported data.

1.) NINJATRADER.ELD has been imported into TS and NTDataDownload strategy selected.

2.) Downloaded continuous TS symbol selected for FESX 1 minute with local time as per instructions.

3.) @FESX.txt file imported into NT

4.) Open chart, but only saved NT data is displayed.

Frustrating! Has anyone come up with a solution?

Sorry, scratch that last post.

I forgot to reset my chart lookback period.

It's early morning here. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
