Ashley, I too use Bhodi to download daily data, for Amibroker and my
older chart package. I have set up Bhodi to download data as metastock
into a single directory for staocks and one for warrants. You can set
the max number of stocks in a single directory to 2000 which is enough
for this purpose. I can then import the metastck database into
amibroker. On how to set this up I suggest you contact the bhodi people.
They can tell you exactly how to set it up much easier than I can. Bhodi
freeway cannot to my knowledge download directly to amibroker. I can but
hope they do in the near future.
