Hi
May I ask whether SQ accepts the following “Time” column when importing data?
The website says “Any program supporting the DBC Signal or the DDE protocols can receive quotes ” including Tradestation 9.1
Date Time Open High Low Close

I got the data from quoteroom, i checked the column details, it appears to be the counts by minutes. it goes from 0001 to 2359 and starts on the next Day with 0001 again.

the file can be imported, but you have to specify the correct date format in the Import dialog.
The format that matches the data in your CSV file is: MM/dd/yyyy HHmm
Or alternatively it could be dd/MM/yyyy HHmm – I’m not sure if day or month is first in your date.
