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
