Hello, I have a txt file in the following format: Date, Time, Close When I try to import it I get an error message that the file can not be imported. Is there anything wrong with the format ? This file does not contain any OHL-Information for Candlesticks. The question now is, is SC able to generate a Candlestick chart by itself via the time information available ? If yes, how do I have to proceed, if no, any hints how I can get a candlestick format that can be used in SC (if only a line chart data is available). Thanks a lot in advance. |

Sierra Chart can import the data that you want and can generate chart bars from it. We will resolve this particular error you are encountering. Although for the time being just close all the charts during an import and update to the current version. That is essential.

Thank you, is there an explanation somewhere how i have to proceed, if I want to load a data file in the format "Date,Time,Last", i.e. a line chart, and show it in candle stick format in SC, so that it is converted automatically via SC into an OHLC database. If I only use chart settings and switch from line to OHLC after I loaded the line chart database, I do not see any candles only a kind of distributed single small lines. |
