You can create your price file as MWS mwPrice base.

If you already have TXT file with price, you must format it. Download MagicTraders TXT price file, see it structure and format your price file.
(Sorry for my English )

In next version we (maybe) will add special format for importing user prices.

Thanks for helping me.

But i have more questions

My list is nothing but changing prices from card shark (since they have more prices), by the way isnt there an import from they're prices? like magic traders?

When you say its structure. You mean editions like this (5th), all that columns and row n(wich i cant understan ists meaning)?

So, you say that i cant export a price base, change their values and import?

I really would appreciate you patience, thanks again!!!

Sorry, you can not import price directly from CardShark yet (they does not have a simple output method for their prices)

If your prices stored in mwPrice base, you can export it as: HTML, XLS, RTF and TXT

What about import... Yes, current version can not import prices from custom user format. In next versions we can add this feature.

I understand you, but i thought that when i export a file to txt, change the prices values and then import, i guess im not chnging the format.

But it just doesnt work.

And you didnt answer me 1 question

To make the structure of magic traders, i need to have all that columns?

And in wich one of them do i put the prices to import?

Yes. Your file must contain all fields till "N"
Code:

Card                            Price StdDev Average  High    Low   Change Raw N
Abjure,                          0.25,  0.00,   0.25,   0.25,   0.25,  0.00,   1


Price for card will be getted from "Price" column.

You can simply create txt file like
Code:
Abjure,                          0.25,  0,0,0,0,0,0


Also, if you plan insert card edition, you must do it like:

Abomination (4th)

and so on.

I dont know.
We dont use value "N" when doing import. You can put any number to it.

I beleive that is the number of samples in the survey used to create the statistical data (price, stddev, ave, high, low). I also think change is the delta from the last survey. There must be a math geek at MOTL. Just guesses... maybe there is a FAQ at the MOLT site that explains it for sure.
