ASCII Import - data missing problem
Posted: Feb 15 2014
Hi,
I'm trying to import some ASCII forex data:
1 minute timeframe from 1 Jan 2005 to 1 Jan 2007 as per the screen shot. (about 1,050,000 records)
The quote manager will import the data and says it's all good to go, this takes about 30 seconds. How ever when I re-interrogate the data it only has the last 50000 records spanning from 28/11/2006 -> 1/1/2007. The charts are also truncated to these dates.
The database file (TSSTORAGE.GDB) is currently pushing 200mb (199840kb) is this a problem?
I initially tried importing the ASCII data into one of the realtime symbols that I have set up through IB however when that didn't work I created brand a new one with no data in it...this has not worked...I also tried changing the "Data Source" from Free Quotes to ASCII Mapping and obviously before that on the realtime symbol it was IB, so I don't think thats a problem.
Here are the screen shots of how I load the ASCII data, in sequence.
Any help would be appreciated.
