Historical data "re-creation"

[Burga1]

Greetings,

Can NT create historical period bars from imported historical tick data? For example if I import some historical data I have which is in tick format can I have NT format it into 5 minute bars?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, please consult the docs for details: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/Import.html

OK, thanks that's good. However there doesn't seem to be instructions on how to make the "new" intervals--or does NT do this automatically when tick data is imported? Thanks again.

>> Tick data is used to build tick and volume bars of all intervals, minute bars are used to create minute bars of all intervals and daily bars are used to create day bars of all intervals.

Also: There is an option to build minute data from imported tick data. Just give it a try
