Hi everyone,
did anyone working with custom tick data try to append a recently compiled chunk of data to an existing FXT file?
from what i see in birt's script, they're almost like HST files, just a bunch thicker params... a defined header struct followed by plain binary data, no file length/checksums in the header whatsoever so if i just keep adding values, perhaps i shouldn't go wrong.
got tired of running csv2fxt every weekend for every symbol & entire history of my broker to keep my giant_monster_elephant FXTs (i love them;) up to date.. appending a tiny bit to them would be much more elegant, not mentioning the time saved :) ...just curious if anyone here dealt with it, if not i'll just try :D
TIA
