Importing Data into Tradestation 9.0

[bobaloo]

I have spent a day reading and re-reading Tradestation's manual for 3rd party data and for the life of me I can't seem to import Metatstock or ASCII data into Tradestation.

 

If anybody has been able to do this, could you please explain how you did it.

 

TIA

Have you checked this out?: https://www.tradestation.com/support/webinars/archives/screen_size.asp?id=importing_data

 

I have just taken a quick look, so I can not tell you how. I am going to do the same myself.

 

Edit: By the way, where did you get that manual? It would be interesting to take a look.

Thanks Aeddi. But apparently you have to have a tradestation id number for that to work. I downloaded it and all I get is a blank screen.

Bobaloo, you should just see the button "Launch Web Seminar" when you use the link I provided. When you push the button it pops up in a new window. Have you tried with both IE and Firefox? It works with both for me. You have to wait a bit though before i starts.

 

Unfortunately one have to watch the whole thing every time. One can not go back and forth, so it would actually been nice to be able to download it all.

 

Edit: Ok. Now I started to think that you maybe was referring to the manual you mentioned before. If that's the case, sorry :)

Thank you Apollo :)

 

Edit: No, regarding the download actually fantastic Apollo. Great quality. Thank you for taking time to do this. What tool did you use to record it?

A name that fits the user! Pretty cool :D

 

I did a search, but got various hits. If you could share a link and a snapshot of your settings with the program I would be most thankful.

One could use realplayer to download the vid, or look into the source of the webpage. Sometimes that provides links for it. Easiest way is with realplayer tho.

Hi! EasyMoney,

Still… I don’t use any… and I don’t need to…:)):)):))

Has anyone tried simply exporting ASCII data from 8.7 and then import into 9.0? If that doesn't work what is happening?

 

ps I would love to get this program working with the simulator and history data.
