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
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 : http://www.mechtrading.com/qcollector/esignal/ninjatrader.htm 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!!!!
