Hi Wealth-Lab experts,

It seems WL8 is not recognising ASCII data sets I created in WL7 that run perfectly well. Source is Norgate in Australia.

All the strategies in my WL7 have come across even though I had to manually export and import some. These all run fine in WL8 on Yahoo data on Australia S&P/ASX 200. So, the strategies run, but not on my ASCII created lists.

I looked through the forum but could not find anything relating to this problem.

I have tried unsuccessfully to copy a screen shot. I then tried to upload it via "Image" from the menu panel above. The panel shows "Upload: 100%" but I don't see the picture.

Can someone please help me!?

Thank you

Can you email one of the ascii files to support@wealth-lab.com?

I think this is happening because you tried to upload the wrong format (DOCX) which you had sent to our email before. Images have to be in PNG format to be recognized and rendered correctly.

Let me copy that file over here in parts:

For some reason it will not load an ASCII data set, L17 that does run in WL7. Here I even changed the benchmark to SPY.



It seems to be able to read the data to draw a chart.



It doesn’t recognise ^AXSO. No such problen in WL7.



Here I have an error saying cannot load this Aust index ^AORD, but in another strategy that not only uses ^AORD as the benchmark but also in the conditions, it runs fine. ??

Your ASCII file is not recognized by WL8 as the format has changed. As can be see in the status string, there is a parsing error: "String 'AGI.au' was not recognized as a valid DateTime". It's highly likely that there is a header string where 'AGI.au' is in the first position and this input is unexpected because WL8 expects to find a date there.

Solution: Recreate the ASCII DataSet using the wizard, skipping the first row.
