I have an ASCII dataset with 3 symbols (5 min data) in it.

The 3 symbols are ES, FV, JY.

Hello Steven,

Check out Reference > Symbol Info Manager in the Wealth-Lab User Guide. Basically you define three new Sym Info Mgr entries for each of the futures markets, as shown on screenshot.

As a heads up to everyone, in the next release of WLP/D (6.2) the Symbol Info Mgr will use Regular Expressions (RegEx) for the symbol field. This will allow you to match all contracts of a future's product with a single record.

For example, instead of having a record for each of the S&P 500 Emini contracts: ESZ0, ESH1, ESM1, etc., you'll be able to enter just one record for: ES[H,M,U,Z]\d
