September '98 Monthly Update
News: I will be on vacation until Labour Day.
Introduction:
The DalleySuite is a collection of, mainly, AmiBroker data importers.
These are very easy-to-use programs: collect the data, import, Save, and
you are done! No manual editing or data entry, ever! Data entry can also
be delayed, for your convenience.
The programs are robust and highly customised. Data sources have been
narrowed down to reliable quote servers, with quality data. Free Internet
sources are used whenever possible.
Please test the *free demo* before it gets uploaded to the Aminet. (Some
features are being improved now for the main demo programs. Notice of the
release date will be made here and my page, after the docs are updated.)

If you have questions about AmiBroker, I will answer the best I can,
but we can all learn from each other on this mail list, too.
Enjoy,
Donald Dalley

=============================================
GLOSSARY:
DALLEYSUITE = a set of support programs to import stock data, per country
This could involve a number of different data formats, depending upon
just what is available, or usable: complete/partial exchanges, portfolios,
intra-day + InstaQuotes and/or EOD quotes, indices, histories, etc.
QUOTE = stock price info, mainly: symbol, open, high, low, close & volume
EOD = End-Of-Day, after market hours; intra-day = during market hours
MEGAQUOTE = a script which imports a complete/partial exchange's EOD dataset
MegaQuote scripts can build your own histories for all stocks, if none are
available on the net. Most will do extra calculations.
INSTAQUOTE = imports a single quote instantly from a terminal's screentext
PORTFOLIO = a quote which has two or more quotes in it
REPORT PANEL = final panel which displays useful info (such as A/D data)
HISTORIES = long sets of EOD data - build these before you ever invest!
CANDLESTICKS = price bars which show more info visually - use them!
MULTIPLE or UNLIMITED = imports all available files of a similar format
example: 8 portfolios or 47 quotes (demo does both at once!)
