RE: Importing Tick data in Globalserver

["etrader" <etrader@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Jimmy,

I tried their tool out.  It's pretty good but i
THINK there may be some bugs in it.  When i export
.xpo to ascii 1min res. and double check the ascii
data file vs.  1min TS chart the time stamp for
some of the 1minbars are off by 1hr., and
elsewhere in the ascii file the timestamp matches
perfectly with 1min TS chart.

Sent an email to those guys at support and waiting
for response. Have you experienced this before?

Thanks
Bing
