FutureSource has the capability to access data that is outside of the FutureSource Data Feed. It allows you to create custom symbols that link to the data files. These symbols can take advantage of the same technical analysis capabilities as a FutureSource symbol. This includes being able to handle overlays, studies, drawing tools and more.
The data in which you wish to link to FutureSource must be in 1 of the following formats:
File Format Options

Microsoft Excel File – All Office Versions 97-2013 |

Text File where the data is Comma Separated |
|
TAB |
Text File where the data is Tab Separated. |
These files can reside either directly on the PC that is running FutureSource or on any File Server that is accessible within your Computer Network.
Aggregations
Currently Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Intraday and Tick Data is supported. If your data file contains Daily data it can automatically aggregate the data to Weekly and Monthly for you. Same is the case for weekly. If your data file contains tick or Intraday, it can be aggregated to other Intraday intervals or Daily.
