When you click this button, the following dialog will appear:

Add Text Files to the Futures Dictionary

If you click on the Yes button, Trading Blox will add to the dictionary all extra text data files in the Futures Data Folder.  

The text file it will add are limited to those with a ".txt" and ".csv" file suffix.  The named files that use the symbol_B format will be imported (i.e. CS_B.CSV) .

The additional information would be that this imports all text files in the folder, sub-folders and short cut folders, assuming the symbol does not exists in the dictionary.  Files in the dictionary will be skipped.

The symbol_B formated files are Future files that show the market symbol, and then append an "_B" when it creates the market's symbol name. CSI allows this option so the file names do not change regardless of the back adjusting method that is being used.

So the idea is that if a new market is added to the CSI download destination portfolio, it is easy to add that to new Futures' file to the Futures dictionary.

When a new Futures symbol is added to the dictionary, update the data for that symbol use the Synch UA button shown in the control panel above.  By updating the trading information to the dictionary, the added attributes that are missing, will provide the information that Trading Blox  will need during testing and signal generation.
