Ninjatrader Tick data

[total_keops]

Looking at a NinjaTrader tick data file I want to know what are the numbers after the date? Is this a time stamp in milliseconds? Here is an example of ZN 06-11.

20110322 111746;119.953125;1
20110322 111750;119.953125;1
20110322 111757;119.953125;1
20110322 111757;119.953125;8
20110322 111800;119.953125;2
20110322 111809;119.9375;1
20110322 111820;119.9375;1

that is most likely the time in hh:sec:seconds (w/out the colon)...

eg 11:18:20

Not a chance, how can I get this when now() we are 2011-03-22 20:13:00!!!

20110322 204354;120.078125;5

Also, I dont think there is a tick every now and then in the 10 years notes futures at 8am (time I started recording the ticks).

this site suggests it's HHmmss as I also suggested :

it can't be milliseconds because that is only 204 seconds since you started recording.

good luck

Indeed you seem to be right!!!
"Tick time format must be hhnnss (same as NinjaTrader "HHmmss")"
And I am totally confused.
I started recording this morning at 7:15am ish NYC time zone so that would be GMT (-4) ==> 111746 -4hours = 07:17:46.
I am just so surprised that there are so few ticks but thinking about it I reallize that I used the IB snapshoted data!!!!
