Is it possible to import historical data via NScript as opposed to the NT GUI (i.e., Tools > Historical Data Manager... > Import)?
I am going to write a StreamReader and then StreamWriter indicator to pull daily futures data all the way back to the 1980s, format that data to the NT import format type and then write the properly formatted data to an appropriately named .txt file. Given my current understanding, I would then need to import each contract (i.e., GC 06-86.Last.txt) into NT via the Historical Data Manager GUI, which as you might imagine, will be rather labor intensive for several instruments going back to the 1980s (i.e., energy, metals, ag, currencies, etc). Therefore, I am interested if I can program the data importation process via NScript, which would save me a TON of screen time.
Thanks,
Aventeren
