map data

Postby tc12345 » 01 Nov 2010

I have some daily and weekly data that have only closing data. How would I map this in to Multicharts?

daily format
01/01/2010,1000
01/02/2010,1001

weekly format
01/01/2010,1000
01/08/2010,1001

Dear tc12345,

You just need to chose resolution as well as date and close fields in Quote Manager --> File --> Map ASCII...

Dear tc12345,

I apologize for misinforming you. The workaround is to open the files in a third party application (i.e. Excel), add Open, High and Low columns and make them the same as Close column. Thus, you can map your files.

Can I make the feature request here? Not having close only data is not the end of world, but it is not helpful.


Thanks
