hello,
I'm a newbie with your application and it's easy downloading from server, no problem at all.
But I tried exporting data to NinjaTrader format and I'm unable doing that.
When I select 'Ninja Trader Tick format' i get an answer 'Invalid foramat, select a predefined format etc ...'
what's wrong ?
Regards

Hi RL2013,

The "Ninjatrader Tick Format" is intended to export tick data only. As such, make sure your export time-frame is set to "Tick" if you wish use this option. You can then import the file into Ninatrader as tick data.

Alternatively, if you are looking to import bar data into Ninjatrader (such as 1-minute bars), according to the Ninjatrader manual (http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/help ... orting.htm), NT bar data supports the following format:

yyyyMMdd HHmmss;open price;high price;low price;close price;volume

To achieve this in Tickstory, you can export with the following settings:

Timeframe: 1-Minute
Include headers: No
Custom Format: {BarBeginTime:yyyyMMdd} {BarBeginTime:HHmmss};{Open};{High};{Low};{Close};{Volume}

Please let us know how you go - we can add this as a pre-defined option to make things easier in the future.

Regards.

Hi RL2013,

Windows does not allow you to write data in the specified location (i.e. in your 'Program Files' directory). In your export file specification, specify a filename with a directory path such as "C:\XAGUSD.txt" (or in your 'Documents' folder) and this should work.

Regards.
