I have created a .txt file of the S&P500 historical data (I'm backtesting using Yahoo at the mo, and that doesn't provide index historicals). The format I've used is as described by the help pages, e.g. :
20070522;1525.1;1529.24;1522.05;1524.12;2860500000
20070521;1522.75;1529.87;1522.71;1525.1;3465360000
20070518;1512.74;1522.75;1512.74;1522.75;295905000 0
I'm getting errors like: "Instrument is not supported by repository", and "Format error in line 1"...
I've noticed that the volume format in the help pages is only a couple of digits long - so maybe that's the problem? What format does NT expect between the semicolons?
Thanks!
Olly
