NinjaTrader 7 Historical Data Manager
A General Discussion
The way NinjaTrader 7 operates internally means that the data settings will be different for each user and their timezone.
Purchasing from Portara Shop
There are TWO ways to purchase data:
- For continuous data you can purchase NT 7 (.ntd) or NT8 (.ncd) ready-formatted data. Remember you do not even need to touch the NinjaTrader 7/8 Historical Data Importer when you purchase NT 7 or NT8 ready-formatted data from the PortaraNinja shop. Simply watch the installation video on the home page.
- Or you can purchase semi-colon separated continuous or individual files for 1 minute data or tick data. Semi-colon separated data needs to be imported into NinjaTrader 7 or 8 using NinjaTrader’s Historical Data Manager. If you want direct guidelines on how to do that for 1 Minute Data see here. For Tick Data importing guidelines see here.
You Already Have ASCII TEXT CSV Data
