Merge 2 stockdata to 1 stockdata

Postby Henrik » 14 Aug 2011

Hello!
If there a way to merge 2 different stockdata to one stockdata?
for example:
earlier: SOLR
later: GTAT
(same stock, but they have change the name...)

now I have the problem: I can't backtest this. I can merge both datas to one chart (for example 2005-2009: SOLR
2010-2011: GTAT)
but than I have 2 different data (data1 and data2).
Is there a way to merge data in QM? I have search a feature to edit historical data, but I can't copy from old to new...)

Thanks!

This is the only way to merge historical data for different symbols. You can merge historical data for one symbol with real-time for another one using Merge feature in Format Instrument menu. However, merging historical data for different symbols is possible only through importing data into one symbol.
