I haven't used Amibroker in years, so it slipped my mind. It is indeed powerful and very cheap...
As for SmartQuant, I tested it several years ago, but it was still being developed and I was concerned with the reliability of the platform. It looked interesting, though..
CSV should just be plain text, with commas separating values. Please post a screen shot of what you mean by corrupted.
I've not personally used the real-time ASCII mapping. Is this what you require? Real-time mapping, with the file being updated in real time outside of MultiCharts?
Don't confuse ASCII mapping with regular importing of data, they are two different things.
Understand the difference now, didnt before TBH..
Dont need the real time updating ATM so importing and being able to backtest own data is priority..
The message I get is
File is corrupted ES0306TK.csv
and also if I use text format
File is corrupted ES0306TK.txt
Got everything working, csv files issues, and not seeing name in file an issue, few others..
I have now loaded my first text file 128mb as an example, data looks like it is loaded correctly...
I have loaded the next data file into quotemanager, loads up fine and is available to see in Multicharts DT, however
How do you merge previous data files and the new data file so that it is continuous.?
When I know actually how to do it I will look into the accuracy issues of rollovers etc..
If you create a synthetic imported instrument, there isn't much need to do rollover. If you are importing years of CL tick data for instance, instead of CL 08-10, 09-10, 10-10, 11-10, 12-10 and etc, you could just create "CL" and import.
For real data feeds, like IQfeed, Zen Fire/Rithmic, etc, you can create a custom futures contract and then specify a rollover schedule in QuoteManager based on several different criteria including volume or dates.
