Mike:
Regarding the import of Ascii 1m text bars into the Global Server, it is
actually quite easy: open a new 1m chart of the future or stock you want to
build the 1m bars for. Don't have any indicators, systems or paintbars
active. Then open the data window. L click on the chart you wish to use
again, then R click on the data window choosing "send to file". (You need
to have the data path available to place before the file name in ts4, but
only the file name in ts5: ie, within My Documents\Data, my path would be
C:\MyDocuments\Data\nq1h1m). Do this for all of the files you wish to unify
into a continuous contract. Then open 2 WordPad windows
(Programs\Accessories\WordPad). One can then easily open each separate 1m
file consecutively, while copying and pasting together onto the other
WordPad which is your continuous contract. It is easy to add onto the
continuous contract by this same method weekly or monthly or whatever.
Let me know if any of this is not clear.
