These lines must be in the order of: Date, Time ,Volume, Open, High, Low, Close With the commas separating each bit of data. You also need to make sure that the format for the time is the same as in the example above i.e. h:mm AM/PM. Market Master does not use the date, so the format is not important. The easiest way of manipulating the data that you start with into the right format for Market Master is to use Excel. You can load your data file into Excel, separate the data into columns using the Data/Text to Columns command (if not done automatically), and then order the columns and the format to match Market Master. Then simply save the file as a CSV file, using the File/Save As command. Once you have created your first few files it will be a cinch!
