I have just been using Bhodi for a short time to get metastock download
to import to amibroker. Unfortunately the metastock database is only has
a few months data. I do have 20 years of data in my old chart package,
and actually exported this as text files to import to Amibroker.
Does anyone know how I can put that 20 years history into metastock
format so that Amibroker can read the metastock database directly?
