ASCII Data Format

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format data files save data in plain text where each line of text in the file is a price record. The example below shows records in the common "csv" format with Date, Time, Open, High, Low, Close and Volume fields separated by commas:

08/27/2005,09:35,78.17,78.17,78.00,78.00,76400
08/27/2005,09:40,78.00,78.05,77.77,78.05,50500
08/27/2005,09:45,78.05,78.09,78.00,78.08,49200
08/27/2005,09:50,78.05,78.10,77.96,77.96,31400

08/27/2005,10:30,77.92,78.04,77.80,77.94,33900

The first line of the file is often a header that defines the content of the fields in the records that follow. QCollector gives you the option of whether or not to include an ASCII header in your data files.

ASCII data files can be opened and edited in any text editor such as Windows Notepad.
