Hi,

 

The .mex file is a macro file for <a
href="">www.macros.com .

This macro tool allows to automate the
export from metatrader to amibroker.

 

Also necessary is: <a
href="">http://www.file-ex.com/welcome.html

In my opinion this tool is a &#8220;must
have&#8221; for every windows user.

This tool remembers your last used path and
makes the import/export easier.

 

Metatrader is available here: <a
href="">http://www.metaquotes.net/metatrader/

 

You only need to create one time a import
file with the macro wizard.

 

Format: DMY, TIME, OPEN, HIGH, LOW, CLOSE,
VOLUME

Hi Thomas,





 





Sorry for the bother, but what do I do with the
 .mex file?





And how do I get the data from Metatrader? Your previous
posts are not clear to me.





 





Best regards





 





Herbert Elstein

Hi Thomas,





 





I have opened a Demo account with RefcoFx. They give
advanced java charts where you can also get the data. I downloaded macro
xpress, but havent been able to write a macro which copies the data from the
chart and pastes into a text / csv file.





 





Link for accessign the charts





 





http://64.94.171.6/Charts/refcofx.html





 





Can I use macros to automatically import.





 





Btw I think you need the lastest Java Runtime Environment to
be able to access the chats.





 





Thanks 





 





Prashanth.

Hello Herbert,

 

Sorry for my delay !

 

You don&#8217;t need to open an account with them, you can
also delete the old demo account every month and start a new demo account.

This works fine. I also prefer others, like fxcm.com

 

Here is the way I do:

 

<font size=2
face=Arial>1)<font
size=1>       <font
size=2 face=Arial>I have
created a profile in metatrader with my 8 favorite pairs

<font size=2
face=Arial>2)<font
size=1>       <font
size=2 face=Arial>Than I have
created a macro with macro express http://www.macros.com/

<font size=2
face=Arial>3)<font
size=1>       <font
size=2 face=Arial>This macro
selects step by step every window and clicks on the save button, goes to
amibroker and imports the quotes.

 

 

I have also created a macro that only exports one pair for
quick import.

 

You can try or do the same also manually !

Just click in metatrader on the save button, go to
amibroker, create the format with the import wizard, and import the history.

Metatrader has a very long history. Really nice.

They provide about 14 months of a 1 hour chart !

 

During the macro process you can&#8217;t do other things,
but the process takes about 1-2 minutes for 8 pairs on my machine.

Therefore it is not as comfortable as a &#8220;real&#8221;
realtime data provider.

But anyway the data quality is much better than esignal and
it is absolutely free.

 

Tell me if you need the macros to use it.

 

Best regards,

 

Thomas
