Could someone help me here? I feel as though I'm in a 12 ft deep tub and
can't get out. When I do get up to the edge and almost out of this
"backtesting data learning curve" someone pours more water on me.
All I want to know how to do is to use the TS3.5 SPM&U tick data files that
were made available from www.eskimo.com.
I have TS4.0 and for some reason the file convertoer does not have any means
to convert what seems to be TS3.5 tick data.
I know the omega site has tick data but I don't know of any way to get
contracts worth without downloading one day at a time.
When I do get the data is there a way to append and adjust the data to form
continous back adjusted data? I would be happy to purchase some software that
will adjust.
Many thanks Charlie Waring
