Importing Historical From NT

1 replies

9 years ago #113552

Hi,

I have just downloaded the trial version

I am trying to import historical data from NT7 and I am wondering how does Strategy Quant deal with timezone?

My computer timezone is utc+8 (were NT and strategyquants are installed)

Does the software use the local compter timezone when importing?

If not, what’s the procedure to import historical data and timezone? Timezone are not mentioned in the import documentation from what I can see. (maybe a datasource timezone should be added, the same way NT7 has this option when importing data?)

Lastly how does Strategyquant deal with future contracts roll over? And what is the best way to import future contract data split over several contracts over the years.

Thanks

Chris

SQ does use the data “as is”. It will not mangle with the time-zone in the data nor anything else. So the time-zone that is present in the data is the time-zone SQ uses.

As for future contracts I have no idea, someone else might be able to help hopefully.

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
