Historical data saved in NinjaTrader can be edited via the Edit tab of the Historical Data Manager.

Editing Historical Data

It is important to understand that the historical data you wish to edit must currently be saved in NinjaTrader as provided by the data provider or collected live. Please see the "Historical & Real-Time Data" section of the Help Guide for more information. If you do not have data, it can be downloaded from your data provider if they offer it by using the Download tab of the Historical Data Manager.

To edit historical data available within NinjaTrader:

Left mouse click the plus "+" button to select the Instrument node, "Ask," "Bid," or "Last," the data type, and the data date. The bar data appears in the right section. (Marker #1 in the image below)

•	Adding data - Left mouse click on a row to select it. Then right mouse click to access the options to Add a new data row. (Marker #3 in the image above)

•	Excluding data - Right mouse click on the desired row and select the menu item Exclude to exclude the data. Excluded data is data that is intentionally ignored and not used. NinjaTrader will remember this excluded data on a historical data reload. (Marker #3 in the image above)

•	Any changes that are made are both color coded as well as shown in the Status column. (Marker #4 in the image above)

Once the desired changes are made, press the Save button to save the changes within NinjaTrader.

Note: If more than one row contains the same Date, Time and price values, all similar rows will be edited.

Excluding Data

The image below shows what happens when the selecting the row is Excluded. Since the two rows above the selected row have the same value in the Date, Time, and Price columns, they were automatically Excluded by NinjaTrader.
