Hello,
I am using the Lite version of Tickstory. I have followed the video for importing the data into Ninjatrader. I am able to open a chart with minute bars without any issues. When I try to open a renko chart, tick chart, or volume chart I just get a blank screen. Do you know why the data is not able to populate a tick based chart?
I am looking at NQ by the way. I've downloaded the data (USATECHIDXUSD) according to the video, and I've tried importing it using both Bid, and Last. Any idea why I can't get tick charts from this?
Also I did download the data as "tick" data.
Thanks,

Hi Alexmc,
Have you tried to contact Ninjatrader support team for this? They are best placed to answer this question. If there is a specific file format they are expecting in the imported data, then we can help with this if we know the details.
Thanks.

Re: Issue using Renko bars in Ninjatrader 8
This is what they provided me. It looks like the price field is different and the time format doesn't have the colons. I'm not sure how to get the price format they are requesting.
You can find the required format at the link below.
https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGui ... ataFormats
Tick Format (Sub Second Granularity)
You can also import tick granularity to the ten millionth of a second. Each tick must be on its own line and fields must be separated by semicolon (;).
The format is:
yyyyMMdd HHmmss fffffff;price;volume
Sample data: (Note: If you wanted to import in millisecond granularity data then each line must have the remaining "0"'s behind it to import correctly.)
20061107 000431 1000000;1383.00;1
20061107 000456 1000000;1383.25;25
20061107 000456 2000000;1383.25;36
20061107 000537 7000000;1383.25;14

Hi Alexmc,
Here is the Custom format specification to use in Tickstory for the format described (Ninjatrader "Tick Format (Sub Second Granularity)"):
which yields output like so:
(Don't forget that we have a detailed guide on how to customize formats and format specifiers in our manual.)
Please let us know if this works.
Thanks.

Re: Issue using Renko bars in Ninjatrader 8
I tried it and it didn't work. The {BidPrice} doesn't look like it's in the format requested? Or maybe I'm not importing correctly into Ninjatrader. Do I need to rename the file that is created by Tick Story?
Re: Issue using Renko bars in Ninjatrader 8
I think I figured it out. I needed to move the output files into the folder named after the correct contract closing date. It's a little time consuming but it seems to work.
