Hi all,

We have some great news for the FX trading community – we now have the ability to offer trading rebates through http://FX-Rebate.com. This deal allows up to 40% of the commissions you pay to be returned back to you when you trade. The highlights include:

– Your spreads and trading conditions do not change by signing up.
– The program works by your broker giving part of the commission you pay to Fx-Rebate (sort of like a ‘finders fee’ for referring you). A majority of this rebate is then passed back to you.
– The program is managed by a trusted player in Forex rebates – CashbackForex.
– Most major brokers are supported by the program (if your broker is not listed, you can inquire to see if they can be added).
– In most cases, you can convert your existing trading account so you can take advantage of these rebates.

This program gives you and your trading strategy the best chance of profitability since you will get cash back on every trade. By registering through FX-Rebate you are also giving your support to Tickstory (and we always appreciate your support 😉

You can find out more by going to http://FX-Rebate.com.

Happy trading! 😉

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/helpGuides/nt7/index.html?importing.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.

Thank you
PS-Yes a predefined data would be great !

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.

Hello,

I checked importing data as you told me with :

{BarBeginTime:yyyyMMdd} {BarBeginTime: HH:mm:ss};{Open};{High};{Low};{Close};{Volume}

Exporting is correct I have txt file

When I tried importing file to NinjaTrader I receive an error window ”There has been an error, check the log file’
Log File Message ‘$XAGUSD :Date/Time format error in line 1 : incorrect string format :
‘20140327 00:00:00;19.835;19.839;19.833;19.936;0.529999988153577’

I need your help
Regards

Hi RL2013,

Could you please try the following format which basically omits the Volume (i.e. sets it to 1 for all rows):

{BarBeginTime:yyyyMMdd} {BarBeginTime:HHmmss};{Open};{High};{Low};{Close};1

It seems that fractional volumes could be causing the issue, although not sure why your error seems to suggest that the date/time is incorrect. Just make sure you are not including column headers.

Thanks.

Tank You very much. All is fine

Thanks for getting back, RL2013 – does that mean it was the ‘volume’ field that was causing the problem for you?
