I scan them separate.
Maybe it's possible to open more databases at the
same time, but I don't know how.

I
see, that is how to import different exchanges and keep them
separate.

Am I
able to do scans etc on these diferent directories at the same time or must I
scan data from one of the databases, and then open anotyer dtabase before
running a scan on that data?

Why don't you create different databases for
diferent exchanges or did you?

Hello Tomasz,thanks for the reply.I
have read the tutorials. printed out the manual all 300 plus pages,
readit twice and left it at work over the weekend so cant refer to it
now excepton the online version.I understand about the
metastock plugin and set up a database using themetastock
plugin.However, I have tried to follow these instructions and cam
up with theseproblems.I imported one of my data directories.
ASX. The data was placed in the ALLdirectory and in Group 0 and Market
0.I changed group 0 and market 0 into ASX Equities using symbol
categories.I then tried to import my directory for London Stock
Exchange. Usingfile->Database settings->Configure am I supposed
to add further directoryfolders to this?? Where do they go? The yseem
to get merged into All andASX?? They certainly did not make another
directory for themselves.I set bars to 100000 to ensure all data
from my files was imported. is thatcorrect? Now (even though the data
goes back say 20 years ) the tree takesforever to initialise.I
do not understand what process to do what I want to do.I want to
import metastock files for 8 different folders (ASX, LSE, NYS,etc) 8
exchanges.I want them to be within their own directory called
(ASX, LSE, NYS,etc)under markets.Then I want to import data
from another database directory for my futuresdata and put them in
their own market name.Later I will go through these
directories and select top 100 etc and putthem into a group called top
100 so that should not bea problem.However, at this stage I cant
see how to import the data in the firstinstance. LSE data I have no
idea where it is since I would have to trollthrough the ASX file to
locate their codes I guess.-----Original

[amibroker] Importing datainto AmibrokerImportance:
HighHello,First you should really read TUTORIAL and
use METASTOCK PLUGIN<A
href="">http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_extsources.htmlto
read MS database directly (so you don't need to reimport all the
time).Reading all tutorial sections is a first thing a new user
should do.Second thing is understanding categories.Categories
are NOT folders (like in Windows Explorer)The difference is
fundamental.In the explorer file appears (usually) only once in the
giventree leaf.In the workspace symbol tree given symbol appears
multiple times becauseit appears in every category leaf to which it
belongs toeven if this is the same symbol and only it exists only as
singleentity.One symbol belongs to MANY categories at the same
time.For exampleAAPL (Apple Inc.)will belongto"Stocks"
group category"Nasdaq" market category"Information" sector
category"Comp-Computer Mfg" industry categoryand may
alsobelong toseveral watch lists and favorites categoryALL
at the same time.That's why ONE symbol will appear in many leaves of
the symbol tree.Now if you delete the SYMBOL it will of course
disappear from ALL categoriesbecause you have deleted the
SYMBOL.There are two types of categories:1. with mutualy
exclusive membership: groups, markets, sectors/industries - it
means that symbol MUST belong to ONE group ONE market and
ONEsector/industry at a time you can move the symbol from
one group/market/sector/industry to anotherbut you can not
remove this assignment - create "Unassigned"
group/market/sector/industryinstead.2. with free membership:
watch lists/favorites/indexes - it means that a symbol may
belong to ANY number (including zero) ofwatch lists (and to
favorite/index category too) In this case you can remove this
assignment by Watch List->RemoveWatch lists are covered in
detail in the User's Guide:<A
href="">http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_watchlist.html(the
same is available when you press F1 from AmiBroker)Third
thing:if you use "DELETE" button in Symbol->Categoriesit
displays the warning:"This will delete selected symbols FROM THE
DATABASE".Again: it will delete FROM THE DATABASE, not from the
category.Best regards,Tomasz
