You can have multiple instances of AB open at one time,
using different databases

Hello
Tomasz,
thanks for the reply.
I have read the tutorials. printed out the manual
all 300 plus pages, read
it twice and left it at work over the weekend so
cant refer to it now except
on the online version.
I understand about the metastock plugin and set up
a database using the
metastock plugin.
However, I have tried to follow these instructions
and cam up with these
problems.
I imported one of my data directories. ASX. The
data was placed in the ALL
directory 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. Using
file->Database settings->Configure am I
supposed to add further directory
folders to this?? Where do they go? The yseem to
get merged into All and
ASX?? They certainly did not make another
directory for themselves.
I set bars to 100000 to ensure all data from my
files was imported. is that
correct? Now (even though the data goes back say
20 years ) the tree takes
forever 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 futures
data and put them in their own market name.
Later I will go through these directories and
select top 100 etc and put
them 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 first
instance. LSE data I have no idea where it is
since I would have to troll
through the ASX file to locate their codes I
guess.

Importance: High
Hello,
First you should really read TUTORIAL and use
METASTOCK PLUGIN
<a
href="">http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_extsources.html
to 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 given
tree leaf.
In the workspace symbol tree given symbol appears
multiple times because
it appears in every category leaf to which it
belongs to
even if this is the same symbol and only it exists
only as single
entity.
One symbol belongs to MANY categories at the same
time.
For example
AAPL (Apple Inc.)
will belong
to
"Stocks" group category
"Nasdaq" market category
"Information" sector category
"Comp-Computer Mfg" industry category
and may also
belong to
several watch lists and favorites category
ALL 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 categories
because 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 ONE
sector/industry at a time
you can move the symbol from one
group/market/sector/industry to another
but you can not
remove this assignment - create
"Unassigned" group/market/sector/industry
instead.
2. with free membership: watch
lists/favorites/indexes
- it means that a symbol may belong
to ANY number (including zero) of
watch lists (and to favorite/index category too)
In this case you can remove this assignment
by Watch List->Remove
Watch 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->Categories
it 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 Janeczko
