Change of Ticker

[AnotherTrader]

A US equity instrument I follow recently changed ticker symbol (from RTP to RIO).

I have both tick and 1-min bar data saved against the old symbol (RTP) which I collected before the ticker change. Going forward I shall be collecting the data against the new symbol (RIO).

So that I can continue to backtest over the full range of data, is there a way I can “merge” the old data under RTP with the new data under RIO? I am using NT 6.5.

Thanks.

Unfortunately you could not use the merge, but you could export the data and reimport for the new ticker symbol then (simply change the text file name with the data to reflect the change).

That work-around should be fine. Thanks.
