Ninja Trader with downloaded tick data

N

Hi,

Is it possible to download the tick data from say www.tickdata.com, import it into NT 7, and build historical intra-day volume based charts with it?

I'm looking to do some manual bar by bar analysis. Don't need a real market replay - I don't mind hitting the arrow at the bottom of the window to scroll the right edge forward :)

I looked at NT's helpfiles, and it there's something about it only able to build minute bars with downloaded data. Is that true?

Thanks in advance!

NT 6 does not officially support TickData.com data feeds.

Also, the importer does not support time frames other than 1 minute. From their support site:

"Set the interval to 1 Minute bars (do not set to any other interval)"

NinjaTrader needs an overhaul of their import engine. It is greatly lacking.
 
Thats a shame to hear :(

I've heard some good things about NeoTicker's replay feature, but I was hoping NT could be a one-stop shop. Its not so much the cost, but the pain in the ass to learn a whole new setup.

Thank god I found out early, otherwise, I would've paid for a lifetime membership of NT, and see it go to waste ...
 
May be there is some misunderstanding:
- NT6 is way outdated and not even available on our web site any more (NT6.5 is the production version at this time)
- NT6.5 allows to import tick data to build volume based bars for your analysis (this is done NT internally off your imported tick data)
- NT7 - available as beta - allows to import tick data to literally build any timeframe which NT would support

Also: we are in touch with tickdata.com to seamlessly support their data format with upcoming NT7. We expect that to be implemented in near future.

I would recommend submitting support requests to our forum http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/ or to support AT ninjatrader DOT com. Our support staff would be happy to assist you.
