How to load a tick data file?

[Trader77]

Hi, how do you load and run the tick data file? I have managed to get some 3rd party tick data, I've imported it using Tools->Historical Data->Import and now I'm not sure how to run the tick file, I've looked through the help files, but I can only find details about the file format not how to run the file, am I missing something?

I'd be grateful if you can help

Thank you.

What do you mean by "run" the tick file? If you mean for use with our Market Replay connection, this is not possible. The import is only for historical data that drives charts and backtesting.

Let me get this straight. There is no source available at this time to load replay data into NT unless it was previously recorded by NT? But it would be possible for users to file-share these previously recorded replay files if they were stored on a server somewhere to be downloaded. Are there copyright issues with doing that?
thnx,

Incorrect, you just can not import from a different source.

Of course. The data directories located in <my documents>/db/data would need to be shared.

Dont' know
