Each future symbol for each symbol can have information for each of the data name items listed in this table.

Futures Dictionary Data Column Names

In some instances where the data source being used doesn't have information for a column, that field of information will be left blank.  

CSI's Backadjust Settings: ^Top

When a symbol is added to the dictionary, the information for every symbol is available in Unfair Advantage (UA) Market Specification table.  To add a symbol to the portfolio name you selected, click on the Add-Symbol menu option.  When dialog shown next appears, type in a symbol's letters and soon a UA will respond with is record number:

CSI's UA-Add/Edit Futures Data Symbol

CSI Futures File Naming: ^Top

Futures Data File Name Format

Synch Dictionary Futures: ^Top

For users of CSI's Futures Data, the information can be added automatically once the symbol is entered into the Symbol Field shown in the above image.  

After the symbol is entered into the symbol field, and with Unfair Advantage installed, click on the button and Trading Blox will fill in the fields for that symbol.   If the information doesn't get filled in, and you know the symbol is available from CSI, check the Unfair Advantage path location in the Trading Blox

Should symbol listed in the portfolio appear in the main screen "Log Window", the most common problem is the file name, or the file is missing.
