End of Day Data, new data does not automatically update on chart

[John999]

I use End of day data in ASCII Metastock format, but TIME and Date stamp does not recognise file update with new (day) data, so each time, I have to re-import entire folder containing multiple securities which is laborious and time consuming.

Am I missing something, suggest or fix it in new release.

Hello Motivewave Team, while I still await for guidance for above query, if someone from your team or Forum members could help me for following independent query

When we look at Manage Instruments from Console, we see columns like

Underlying, Symbol, Type, Description, Expiry Dates, Currency, Exchange

Now if one has to import End of Day data considering above format, how CSV / ASCII file should be structured to populate Options Chain data etc.?

Currently, my data format is like = TICKER,NAME,DATE,OPEN,HIGH,LOW,CLOSE,VOLUME,OI
OI= Open Interest

With above CSV/ASCII file title settings,
1) nothing gets populated/captured under Column - Underlying

2) by Default, Type comes as Stock and not as Options

3) Expiry Date Column remains Blank,

4) What should under go Ticker = Underlying ? and whether Name = Symbol ?

Also suggest how many characters (restrictions if any) could be there for Symbol . I can see that atleast 19 characters are visible for Symbol on this page https://docs.motivewave.com/guides/user-guide/trading-1/option-chain

Seek Clarity for above, and I trust, above is certainly doable, as it is only a matter of organising CSV/ASCII files properly to place data under relevant columns such that MW could read it correct and place them in relevant data columns.

I have read this page https://docs.motivewave.com/guides/user-guide/charts-1/importing-data but there is no mention about CSV/ASCII file data structures, it simply talks about import

It is you are wasting time. The motivewave after version 5.x the chart import feature doesn't work well. If you say anything. Motivewave support will be like deaf and dumb.

Well the import used to work well in the past, importing / connecting directly Metastock data, not just ASCII which I did not even manage to do it. It takes one by one ticker and it looked frozen.

It could at least be connected to Metastock Datalink (eod data) not just to Xenith which is way too expensive for most of the regular retail users.

They can still re-utilise the old import feature for Metastock legacy data file structure, which datalink is capable saving the data locally in a hard disk.
