2. Dates are in descending order (latest date at the top);
3. Date format is 26-March-06; and
4. Column order is Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume.

File Extensions

Ideally, all data files should have the same extension (or no extension). Incredible Charts remembers the extension of the last data file imported (for example .csv) and will use that on any subsequent file with no extension.

The default folder and default extension are remembered between sessions.
