Thanks, Barry.

The Help file does not seem to indicate what the NAME of the file needs to be, in the "Rules for Importing Data Files" ... such that the "Using the Test Profile" instructions will work properly ... ie that it will find and properly associate a given Symbol name with the data in each csv file. It also does not indicate what limitations there might be on symbol names ... can they be anything we want, or must it be a symbol that is listed somewhere in the OT symbol directories?

Also ... is it possible to load in SOME data automatically, using the new "ToDo" method ... and then add other symbols by loading them using the CSV method?

Finally, is it possible to load some data from one intraday feed source, such as Odata, and in the same Test Profile load in additional data from a different feed source, such as ESig?

Thanks for your help.

PS please do request that this part of Help get updated with the info you have mentioned.

PPS ... and, I still don't have an answer to the question I've asked many times over the past year or two ... HOW MANY BARS can be loaded, max, into the Test Profile. Cose told me there was a limit, set by the database engine, but he never got back to me to tell me what the limit was, in terms of numbers of bars. Also, there used to be some kind hard-coded of "block" that did not allow OT to work with more than a certain number of bars (Data Periods showed error messages) ... that needs to be explained so that we know how to work with it.

Please help.

Thanks
