There are ways to get arround this but it not so user friendly.
Basicly if your whizbang logic x requires 100 bars of data you will have to build that data base up before the WBL X will work.

Hi CockeyedCowboy,
Sorry about the delayed reply, I just saw your post. ( Still recuperating from my vacation...
)
Yeah, I see what you mean about data-holes.
I don't know how TS v8.x handles imported data, and I don't know how the 3rd party add-ons to TS v8 like 'OwnData' handle it, but
I think I can grab and save history in CSV format if I use TS version 2000i. Hmmm.. OHLC data (I think) anyway, not sure about tick data.
Looks like its time to RTFM...
Thanks
