Hello, If you are using external data source via plugin, the plugin takes over any values in the database, so any "imported" values will be overwritten by the plugin. The only exceptions are symbols that are EXCLUDED from RT update by "use only local database" option.
You may import data into your IQFeed database using ASCII importer into separate symbols like XXX_EOD that will have "use only local database" turned on and later refer to them using Foreign().
