Hello Brian,
BSH> Does anyone know if HistoryCentre will work with fake symbols, as
BSH> above?
Two sites have online data converters
http://www.hypertrader.it/default.shtml
http://www.tssupport.com/
I believe they will convert your ascii to omz or xpo no matter what
you call the file.
It's a pity no ones offering an online converter to put omz or xpo
back to ascii though.

BSH> Hi All,

BSH> I am trying to import some indicator data via made-up
BSH> symbols (eg, MYINDICATOR.NUMBER492 as opposed to IBM,
BSH> or MSFT). Right now, I have the indicator data stored
BSH> in TradeStation's ASCII format.

BSH> From what I gather, GlobalServer won't import ASCII
BSH> minute-by-minute intraday data, only EOD data. The
BSH> only way to get around that problem is with HistoryCentre
BSH> or similar software, and convert to XPO/OMZ. Does anyone
BSH> know if HistoryCentre will work with fake symbols, as above?

BSH> I have been successful at feeding the indicators directly
BSH> into TradeStation through the "3rd Party Directory" mechanism
BSH> for ASCII files. Mind you, I just set Open, High, Low, and
BSH> Close all to the same value -- the value of my indicator.

BSH> I have yet to get the "3rd Party Directory" mechanism to
BSH> work with standard quote data where Open, High, Low, and
BSH> Close take on distinct values. TradeStation seems to just
BSH> take the Close of the previous bar, and use it as the value
BSH> for Open, High, Low, and Close for the current bar.

BSH> Does anyone know what the problem might be?
