Import Data only shows 1 month

#1 Postby Jdax » Mon Dec 21, 2009 4:15 pm

I've recently upgraded to 2.4 (and registered).

I've downloaded data source for USD/JPY and can see in Notepad it contains Jan 2001 to end Nov 2009.

When I Import in History mode and select that source (unzipped). The preview only shows Jan 2001 Data.

Am I doing something wrong ?.

Hello,

It is just a preview, it shows only first 100 lines to let you see what kind of data you're trying to import. We don't show all data to speed up import process. After import you'll be able to see all data in History mode and all data in Testing mode after generating ticks.

So please import the data and don't worry about that little piece of data shown in preview.

You can also find additional information about data import and ticks generation here:

Many thanks.

So Import to History will have all the data I've downloaded (2001 to 2010) ?.

I see in Generate Ticks that I can specify a date range - so I'll just do about 15 months which is all I need.

Yes, just import data from our site to get full date range in history mode and then set date range that you want to test in "Generate Tick data" window
