Chris,

I have a data file called QLD_B.csv that contains the columns as defined in the ASCII Text File Provider: Name, Symbol, Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume.

The data in the file has a header column and the second data line looks like this:
QLD Breath,QLD_B,7/11/2014,15,15,15,15,15
All the values for open, high, low, close, volume repeat because in reality this is the Breath Summation Data that I receive from a data service.

I also tried the workbook functions, but could not figure out how they work. What would be the best way to get this data into Edgerater?

Hi John,

Can you attach the file and I will take a look.

Thanks,
Chris.

I keep getting extension is not allowed, even if there is no extension.

The file has the name of QLD_B.csv, should it have a different extension?

The first few lines copied from the csv file are:
Name,Symbol,Date,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume
QLD Breath,QLD_B,7/10/2014,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5
QLD Breath,QLD_B,7/11/2014,15,15,15,15,15
QLD Breath,QLD_B,7/14/2014,57,57,57,57,57
QLD Breath,QLD_B,7/15/2014,29,29,29,29,29
QLD Breath,QLD_B,7/16/2014,46,46,46,46,46
QLD Breath,QLD_B,7/17/2014,-25,-25,-25,-25,-25
QLD Breath,QLD_B,7/18/2014,68,68,68,68,68
QLD Breath,QLD_B,7/21/2014,34,34,34,34,34
QLD Breath,QLD_B,7/22/2014,73,73,73,73,73
QLD Breath,QLD_B,7/23/2014,84,84,84,84,84

Okay, I'll try with that. BTW you can post it if you zip it up to a .zip file.

Chris,

attached is the zip file. It is a csv file of Breath data for the QLD etf.

I am trying to make a simple system that buys when the breath has risen for the past 3 days and sell when it drops one day.

Hi,
You might try saving the CSV file to a TXT file by using a text editor such as Notepad.
I have found that Edgerater often does not accept a CSV file.
