Hi there,
I have some daily data files that I want to overlay with price. This data will be manually updated (once a week) by me. How do I get this into the MC.net64 database? I've read over the docs on it and I'm confused. Do I need to do a mapping ascii thing? or can I just import the ascii data straight in? The data only consists of a date and a LAST price.
With thanks in advance,
MK

Re: Data Import Confusion [SOLVED]
Hello MidKnight,
ASCII import is a onetime data transfer from an ASCII file into MultiCharts database. It is possible for one file at a time.
The data will not be updated from the ASCII file automatically.

ASCII mapping creates a link from the software to the ASCII file with data. ASCII mapping does not import data into MultiCharts database (Edit data window of QuoteManager will be empty). Each time you plot an ASCII mapping symbol-the data is taken from the file directly. That is possible to map multiple ASCII files at the same time. You do not need to create ASCII mapping instrument manually-it is created automatically upon mapping.

"Date","Open", "High", "Low", "Close" are the necessary fields for daily data import/mapping.The data only consists of a date and a LAST price.
