I have found it impossible to import tick data in ascii format.
The HyperTrader thing seems to work as indicated below.
(I have yet to try HyperTrader.
Does HT.XPO Tick Data build to 1 minute data?
Or do I have to HT.XPO minute data separately?)
I have successfully imported minute data in ascii format.
You are importing it directly into a WorkSpace, not the Global Server.
When you go to Insert Symbol lookup,
you use 3rd Party Directory as data source.
