Hi! I am trying to convert my custom data source into the following format (probably very familiar to you, its the tick firmat in QC):
...
14400000,1674100,100,P,T,0
14400000,1674100,1400,P,T,0
14400000,1674100,100,P,T,0
...
The problem is i do not know what this format is. I,e what the column represents. My guess is this:
14400000 = milliseconds since beginning of day
1674100 = price in cents
100 = volume
P=?
T=?
0=?
plz advice or send a reference to your code base of mapping class.
Awesome platform!
Cheers
Anders
