Hello,

I am trying to create a TEST Profile so as to be able to test some of my own Intraday data history. Here are some of my initial questions:

The "Using the Test Profile" topic in help file says;

"To use the Test Profile, historical data will need to be imported from a source file on your hard drive. There are two methods for importing test profile data.
If your data is in the proper format, according to the Rules for Importing Test Data, test data can be treated like user data."

1. Since the topic describes TWO ways of using our data; I want to know if OmniTrader will import data to its own database in both the cases or will it directly use our data IF "our data is in the proper format" ?

2. How can we later delete the imported data; as otherwise the imported data files can keep getting very bigger/

3. If my CSV data file is updated everyday after Market Close with intraday records for the day appended to historical data; will I need to import everyday even if my CSV files are in PROPER format?

4. If I need to use data for nearly 500 securities; will I need to import all of them separately or is there some way to have all of then imported in one step.

with Regards
