[amibroker] Where do we stand with the CSI data? Was CSI/UA data to AB (2

Howdy Dale,
I'll let you know once the next version of CSI's UA comes out.
Since neither b nor Chuck have had the problems I have, perhaps it was a
fluke.

Thanks Chuck for pointing this out. To your point in previous
posts, you'd mentioned handling this via watchlists. I've been doing
this thanks to b's help, and it's working splendidly.
In terms of a follow-up on CSI's support, Rudi did contact me, and
sent me a fix for the EAccess error. Now that everything is working,
it is pretty sweet having the data locally stored in AB.
Kudos to Chuck who has always preached, and validated with stats, the
importance of comprehensive historical data. I'm certain these
efforts I'm making are certainly worth it.
Regards,
Gary

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>I see a problem with the technique you are using. You
are letting the foreign and preferred stocks into your trading
logic. It's all well and good to ignore them, but they are using
up position numbers. Let's say you want to trade ten stocks,
but two of them are Canadian stocks. You will only be
trading eight stocks. It's a minor point, but I prefer to
filter them out BEFORE they get into my trading logic rather than ignore
them from my "orders list". It's certainly easy enough to
do.

the new CSI export to AB. It saves me about three hours a
day!

[amibroker] CSI/UA data to AB (2 methods)TJ
is right. The new "distribution" (ie, export) featurebuilt into
CSI's UA 2.7.8 is very fast.Here is a quick outline of how to
set it up. I will explain2 methods - I use both.Method
One: Create a Trading Database1. Open AB and create a NEW
database and call it"csiTRADING". There is no need to specify any
plug-in.2. Open CSI's UA (CSI's Unfair Advantage). Click on
thePreferences menu and then click on "Distribution 3" (theone
for AB). Select the settings you want. For examplecheck the
box for - Export all stocks to Amibrokerset the number of days
to export. Usually I00 days is morethan I need, but the export of
300 days is also fast (lessthan 15 minutes on my computer) so that
is what I tend touse. uncheck the box for - "Include
Delisted Stocks..." Thatwill exclude all the inactive stocks.
Remember, this fisrtdatabase is just for trading so inactives or
delistedstocks are not needed. check the box - "Export
history with next download". Besure to check this if this is your
first export to the ABdatabase. If you download CSI data daily,
this does notneed to be check. However, if you skipped a day, or
if youdownloaded the data but did not have AB open at the
time,then it would be best to "check" the box. Note: this
will export "all" active stocks to AB includingstocks from the the
3 US exchanges (NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ)plus two Canadian (TORONO and
VANCOUVER) and one European(LONDON). Stocks from the foreign
exchanges are identifiedby the addition of "-T", "-V", "-L". Also
there are somepreferred stocks which are identified by "+A" etc.
I do not know of any way to stop CSI's UA from
exportingthese foreign and preferred stocks, but it is no
bigproblem. I just have use AB's exploration print a list
ofstock picks and I ignore the ones with suffixes.Method
Two - Creating a Research Database1. Open AB and create a new
database called "csiRESEARCH"or whatever name you want.2.
Open CSI's UA and set the number of days to 2,500 (about10 years
worth of data). If you paid CSI for additionaldata (about
20$/year) then add about 250 days for eachadditional year.
Exporting 13 years of data for active andinactive stocks takes
over a hour on my computer, so I onlycreate a Research database
once a month or so.3. Check the box to "Include Delisted
Stocks, add Csinum toSymbols". This is very important because this
will give youtwice as many stocks and thus more trustworth back
testresults.4. Check the box "Export history with next
download". Note: You do not have to wait for the next download
to dothis export. You can force UA to do the export at any
timefrom the Menu: Database/Manual Database
Distribute.Note: The foreign and preferred stocks are a bit of
aproblem for back testing. My solution is use some
watchlistcreation AFL code to put them into a special group
orwatchlist and then just exclude that watchlist or groupwhen
doing AA
backtests.b__________________________________Do
