There a quite a few options depending on the extent your want or need to save
run time
1. edit or swap this include file on the fly within the afl so the trade file
is only read when param trigger is press, otherwise, a dummy file is written
and included.
2. rewrite the trade history in binary file format, reading binary files is
much faster
3. read the file only once and load content into something like osaka table and
access trades through table lookup.
