The demo version is just the demo, unfortunatelly the blocking tick and intraday data was the only way. But: this will give you
impression how it works.

I think it is your mistake. We can simply test that: you can send me History conversion set (*.hcs file) where is stored our
conversion setting, exported to an file File processing template which is used for conversion of your file and the part of your
ASCII file. I will run conversion here and give you the answer.

Yep:)

Thank you.

HistoryCentre makes simple work: it can convert your ASCII file (which can be in almost all possible format) to XPO file. HC
supports all time frames (tick, 1 minute, 5 minute and 1day) and all price records (trade, ask, bid). You can process with one
template many files or the content of directory. All data will be packed to one XPO file.
