Is there a way to bulk import ascii data in Quote Manager ?

Postby amadeu1 » 07 May 2014

I am using about 60 markets in the Quote Manager and i have the txt data files for those markets in a folder on my computer and i use ASCII mapping.

I would prefer importing the txt data files into the quote manager but it seems I have to import those one at a time. Is there a way to bulk import all the 60 txtx files into the 60 symbols in the quote manager ?

The reason I want that is that when i import i can chart a 15 min, 30 min etc chart from a 5 min data file that i imported. When i use ascii mapping I can only create a 5 min chart out of 5 min data.

I would be curious to know about a bulk import as i have always done it that long way (each file by itself).

as for charting, Most of my data is 1minute ASCII and i can chart any increment of time >1min

have you tried a manual import of 1 instrument and tried to chart a 30min chart with 5min data underlying?

yes i have tried that and it works -- you import 5 min data and you can plot 30 min chart -- really good.

I would just need that bulk import possibility

Please vote for respective feature request.

At the moment you can do bulk mapping ASCII files, but not importing from them.
