Provides a central repository for external data. Allows all symbols to reference externally created data. GBL files are indexed by date. GBL[1 to 1015] can hold numerical data from any source. Use .GBL files to hold interest rate, macro-economic, equity curve, or any other "global" information. This structure can also be used to facilitate pairs trading of stocks. You must initialize a .GBL file via the Global Manager under the Data menu. Only one .GBL file can be resident at one time. |
