Also the issue I previously said was getting fixed was for something else - I apologize. Using Metastock or CSI data formats, you can use Stocks or Test Profiles & import multiple symbol files at the same time. This is done under the Pencil icon when you select User Data for the data source. This type of data cannot be used with intraday data. The user updates the data through another software, then the data is reflected in the charts after refreshing the profile. With CSV data, only Test Profiles can import it. It can be intraday data, but this feature is limited to only 1 symbol imported at a time. I believe the data needs to be imported again as well if it was updated through another software - though I'm not 100% sure on that. To import a CSV file, while in a Test Profile, click File -> Import -> Data File. Type in the symbol & click Resolve. Click the ... button to "Import One File", locate & select it in your drive, then click Ok. The CSV file must have the correct header fields (your file in the first post of the thread does). There is an option to "Import Multiple Files" with CSV, but it doesn't seem to work. I will check & see if it can be fixed any time soon. Though, in order for it to be possible to work, your CSV files would need to also include a Symbol column header with values, otherwise there's no way OT can distinguish what symbol is in each CVS file. So if you have 2 current CSV data files that have this I can take them to development. | |
