This generally happens when the data is corrupted. Remove your data cache for that symbol and then re-try.

Actually, when I edit chart of the data without any strategy, TS displays it fine.
How can I remove the data cashe for my symbol?

Thx

Hi,

I got an official response from tradestation support about this problem:

"This only happens if you choose another language other than ENGLISH while going through the 3rd party import wizard. For instance if you choose Brazil as the language, the chart goes through an infinite loop of “waiting for data” due to an issue with the conversion factor – which is a known issue and will unfortunately need to be addressed on a future build of tradestation.
".
So, after I have selected English language and defined a new simbol in the 3rd party import wizard, this really worked.
Now I don't get "waiting for data" message after addition of any strategy to any simbol with 3rd party ASCII data!!!

Dear Sirs / Mesdames

Thank you for your answer, however I am using Metastock-format imported data and also getting this continuous "waiting for data", "Waiting for symbol attributes", when applying any strategy to a chart.

I look forward to your solution.

Kind regards,

I have this very same problem with 3rd party data, it just alternates between:
"waiting for data"
"waiting for symbol attributes"
Did anyone manage to find a fix as it only appears when I am using 3rd party data, and to follow the forum advice and delete the cache, this cant be done as 3rd party data is not in the cache to start with.
Thanks everyone
