    See Candles import.

    Let's consider an example of importing an security from a CSV file:

    • The file from which you want to import data has the following template:

      {SecurityId.SecurityCode};{SecurityId.BoardCode};{PriceStep};{SecurityType};{VolumeStep}
      
      

      Here the values of {SecurityId.SecurityCode} and {SecurityId.BoardCode} correspond to the values of Security and Board, respectively. Therefore, in the Field order field we assign the values 0 and 1, respectively.

    • For the {PriceStep} field, select the Nominal field from the S# field window and assign it the value 2.

    • For the {SecurityType} field, select the Type field from the S# field window - the security type (stock, currency, futures, etc.). We assign it the value 3.

    • For the {VolumeStep} field, select the Min volume (base) field from the S# field window - the base or minimum security volume. We assign it the value 4

    • The field setting window will look like this:hydra import prop securitiy

    The user can configure a large number of properties for the downloaded data. Based on the imported file template, you need to specify the property and assign it the required number in the sequence.

  3. To preview the data, click the Preview button..hydra import preview securitiy

  4. Click the Import button.
