How To Delete Your Data

Due to a misunderstanding about what "EST" means, unfortunately people already using the Thinking Stuff software need to re-load all the text files from Gain Capital, and re-create all the interval data. See my previous post for more information.

There are 3 ways to clear the old data before you start again. You only need to do one of them:

1. Create a brand new database and start from scratch. But, you would have to also re-enter your user/account/trading system details.

2. Click "File..." > "Price Data" and use the new "Bulk Delete" button. You don't need to click the Search button before using Bulk Delete - just choose the currency, interval, and company for each combination you have created price data for, and click "Bulk Delete" for each of them.

3. Click "File..." > "Data Manager". Click Search to see all the Data Manager entries. Delete all of them. Use the "Bulk..." button to re-create them.

When you delete the Data Manager entries, that deletes the database table containing all the price data. Then re-creating the Data Manager entry re-creates the database table, but which is now empty.

Oh, all of that is only necessary for the Tick data. When you manually create the interval data again, you can check the "Overwrite existing interval price data" option, which will take care of removing the old intervals.
