Intraday Price History
Should you wish to recover data from previous days you can backfill the intraday
history, this will enable you to see intraday graphs for previous days. You can
download, or backfill, up to four weeks (20 trading days) of data.
To do this, select Update : Backfill intraday history... When the dialog box
appears, choose the exchanges required from the tick boxes and select the
dates you wish to backfill, then press Request. Backfill progress is shown in
the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Double clicking on this area also
brings up the Backfill intraday history dialog box.
Saving Your Data and Settings
Your settings will be saved automatically provided you exit the program
correctly. The program will open on the last screen layout displayed before
closing.
If you wish to manually save all your data and configuration settings while the
program is in use select File : Save. This will save portfolios, cash accounts,
imported data, configuration settings and intraday data.
Add or Share Intraday Data
Each day’s intraday price history is stored in a unique file. You can archive
these files and retrieve them when required to save on disk space. Files are
stored in ShareScope’s /Data/RT directory and use the naming convention:
histyymmdd.dat (e.g. hist060308.dat will include the intraday history for 8th
March 2006).
Simply drag and drop these files into your archive media. Note that intraday files
will only include data for the periods when you were connected to the intraday
feed. For whole days that you have backfilled, the file will be complete including
the open and close values.
