Unfortunatley I am not clear on what you mean.
I am assuming you have reviewed this documentation and followed the instructions step by step.

If yes, what point in this process are you stuck at?

Then their must be something missed/failed in the steps where you add the NTDataDownload strategy/indicator into your EL chart. For clarification, this will only work on tick data and TS needs to be running on the same PC that NT is running on.

I thought it was to be set fo 1 min data...I get a 1 min data error message on my Ts chart when I try to use tick data

Correct, it can only be applied to a 1 minute chart.

That is correct the file. Somehow the file is not being written. I am unsure why this could be the case. You could open the NTDataDownload and edit the file to write the file to C:\, run it on a chart, then check to see if the file exists on C:\ as it should.

This would indicate that the file generated is not from the NTDataDownload strategy.
