Hi, I'm having a little bit of trouble importing Metastock Ascii format for EURJPY.
I think it might be because the .txt header's ticker is EURJPY while NT's is $EURJPY.

Here are the first few lines of the .txt file. Please tell me what options I have besides changing the ticker column (which is impractical)

<TICKER>,<PER>,<DATE>,<TIME>,<OPEN>,<HIGH>,<LOW>,<CLOSE>
EURJPY,1,20010216,135900,104.64000,104.66000,104.5 4000,104.65000
EURJPY,1,20010216,140000,104.58000,104.70000,104.5 7000,104.70000
EURJPY,1,20010216,140100,104.67000,104.72000,104.6 4000,104.69000
EURJPY,1,20010216,140200,104.63000,104.68000,104.5 8000,104.68000
EURJPY,1,20010216,140300,104.72000,104.72000,104.6 3000,104.63000

Also, what do I do if the format were different?
