"can not import file"

#1 Postby RobinB » Sun Jul 19, 2015 12:41 pm

Hi, I am trying to import historical data from a stock into FT2. It is a csv file for hitachi and it is daily data. I can input all column data (date,open,high,low,close) into the "import history data" window without errors but when I press the import button I get an error message saying "can not import file". This is how the file is setup.

20150717 8390 8399 8300 8345 7505900 62574437900
20150716 8332 8444 8318 8432 10080200 84744596400
20150715 8216 8273 8191 8273 5706700 47044177600

etc...

Hello,

Earlier data must be at the top of the file. So you must have such format:

20150715
20150716
20150717

You can use Excel and sort the file from A to Z there.
