Insider 3000 has a powerful function to update the archives:
-
The very common ASCII file data import. The program reads in a file in ASCII format containing the data and it updates the various securities, with the possibility to add them if not already present. The records inside the ASCII file can have any format. The format will have to be described to the program using the appropriate function. This way, Insider 3000 is compatible with almost all data providers and historical series.
