Hello all.
If you can get the Boudhi program to save the data to Metastock database
format then the easiest way from there is to link Amibroker directly to the
Metastock database of tickers using the Amibroker Metastock Plugin.
That way you will only ever have to update the tickers using Boudhi,
Amibroker will simply read those files directly.
See the following section in the Amibroker Help file:
Tutorial: How to use AmiBroker with external data source (Quotes Plus,
TC2000, Metastock)
Another good section to read is the section on Database Management.
After reading this if you still have specific questions then post them here,
someone should give you an anwser.
Regards,
William

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.
