i replaced computers and i found i have tick data of some of my symbols archived in a different place than my current SC data folder
the current file size is 650mb and the old on is 1.7g (it's SC format and not txt to import)
also my old file is dated to 02/2015 and my new file has it's first record on 08-2014 so there is overlapping of data

is there any way to import that old data into my current data folder?

thanks

XG is an IQ Feed symbol for the EUREX DAX.

The proper solution is to use the Sierra Chart Historical Data Service and open a chart for the DAX futures. Here are instructions:

For a long-term chart, use the Continuous Futures Contract Feature. Refer to:

There is no way to combine the two files that you have into 1 because they have overlapping date ranges.

both data files are XG# so nothing to roll here
I only want to attach both files together to have a 1 file from 2011 till today
if i export from SC to txt file, than work on the file in notepad++ and than could i import all tick data file back to SC?
