Re: omz downloader



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

The beta version with solved "tick" problem are available. I have sent the
notification to HC's users. If you didn't receive it, please let me know.
Now it is possible:

1) Convert tick data with the same time stamp;
2) Convert volume for tick data;
3) The volume for bar data (1 min, 5 min and 1Day) will be written to "Unch.
Volume" field.

Best regards,
Andrew Nazarov
