Is it possible (and easy) to import data that contains fields other than the standard OHLCV?

for example:

yyyymmdd;hhnnss;Open;High;Low;Close;Volume;MarketC ap;Short Interest;etc...

And a bit of context:

I'm trying to port a strategy from another platform where it currently runs pretty well hands free, but the connectivity (i.e. # of brokers available) is not not up to snuff. It's a long term strategy that scans a large group of stocks (6500 or so) on a daily basis and holds positions for weeks/months... not really sure if NT is the right tool yet, but it certainly looks interesting.

thanks

Thanks for your inquiry.

Its not currently possible to import other data fields other than bar data. Our underlying database does not currently support this additional data. This is on our list for possible future enhancement.
