Ninja Trader .txt file data import

Just recently got the FREE edition of Ninja Trader

and spent some time converting Yahoo! EOD data files to

Ninja trader file format. Did so according to the online HELP,

tried to import, but NT gives me an error, and log shows :

"illegal timestamp on line 1".

Tried every combination to get it to work, but no go, so I emailed

support and asked them, and they keep referring me to the

same online HELP section for importing data that I was reffering

to.

There's NO facility in that HELP section that explains how to do

that. ( adding timestamps ).


According to the online HELP, the DAY format is :

YYYYMMDD;Open;High;Low;Close;Volume

199954;75.59;76.83;69.62;69.99;22320900
199955;69.49;69.49;65.89;68.75;7565700
199956;67.63;69.00;66.70;67.57;2905700
199957;67.57;74.47;66.39;73.72;4862300

........ and that's it. No mention of time stamp, or an example,

or how to add it in.


Newbie with this file stuff, but I think I'm doing everything

the format is asking for. Anybody get the import feature to

work?
 
The problem is your Date format is incorrect.

It should be: YYYYMMDD

you have: 199954

It should be:

1999 = YYYY
05 = MM
04 = DD

thus the correct format is:

19990504
