Hi BeLikeWater,

Yes, you can export bar data to Ninjatrader using the following ‘Export to file’ custom format:

Timeframe: 1-Minute (or any other bar time-frame)
Include headers: No
Custom Format: {BarBeginTime:yyyyMMdd} {BarBeginTime:HHmmss};{Open};{High};{Low};{Close};{Volume}

We will be adding this into the pre-defined list in the next release.

Hope this helps.

Dear Support

Thank you for your answer, and yes I think its a great idea to put it predefined in the program.

One more question regarding this issue, when I import into the Ninjatrader it ask me to put if the data is presented in Bid, Ask or Last. What should I put for the minute data?

Thank you

Dear Support

NinjaTrader doesnt seems to accept the volume format.

Volumes of the file text attached are accepted until line 4.

Do you something about this matter?

Dear Support

I have contact with NinjaTrader and it seems that volume must be passed with an int. So that why the problem. Is there any solution inside TickStory for this?

Thank you

Hi BeLikeWater,

v1.5.2 has just been released to include this pre-defined format. The volume output should also be outputted as an INT, as NinjaTrader expects. FYI, this can be done manually by specifying the following custom format which forces the volume field to be truncated to an int:

Custom Format: {BarBeginTime:yyyyMMdd} {BarBeginTime:HHmmss};{Open};{High};{Low};{Close};{Volume:F0}

Regards.
