Importing Data from MetaStock Files

TradingSolutions can import end-of-day data directly from MetaStock data directories. This is done by selecting to import the Master file from the MetaStock data directory. You may then select individual ticker symbols from that directory to import.

Importing Data from MetaStock Files

Existing data series can be updated from updated MetaStock files using the Import Data Wizard and selecting Update data in the target group. Individual data series are updated based on their currently selected data source, which can be set to the previously imported file. The data source for each data series can be viewed or modified from the Modify Data Series Dialog: Properties page. The data source for entire groups can be viewed or modified from the Modify Group Dialog: Properties page.
