For some futures contracts, I have 10 years of 1 minute data in csv files. I have already imported them into Sierra as intraday data with success.

However, now I need to create some long term charts, eg. (continuous) DAX future over the last 10 years, on a quarterly timeframe (3 months per bar). For this I think that I need to import historical daily data instead of intraday data.

How can I import historical data into Sierra? If necessary, I can convert my 1 minute csv data to daily data csv data without a problem.
