== How to import ASCII data == To import data:# Select a symbol (see [[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /101_Symbol_List.html name="2"; |Selecting Symbol(s) in Symbol list]] section). If the selected symbol contains quotes with the same timestamp as in the file, they'll be overwritten without warning. Make sure the symbol's price scale matches the price scale of the input data file. The program always uses the symbol's price scale when importing.# Make sure the file you wish to import is a 1 Tick, Minutes or 1 Day.
