Hi Tomasz
I'm going through the same process as Collectable..
I have an ASX metastock data base which I've been updating using
Bohdi Freeway . I don't have metastock so I'm not used to using
their data base and how it's structured. In my ASX folder in my
metastock database there is a folder for each letter and an addition
several numbered ones at the start. I have Bohdi Freeway which I use
for my current charting program ( Ezycharts ) and the last time I
reinstalled it I set up the metastock data base as I knew I would be
moving onto another program ( Amibroker ...:) )
I set up a new data base as per instructions , I assume what you
call it doesn't matter.
In the data settings I set up the data source as "metastock r data
plug in.
I then went into configure and opened each of the sub folders in my
ASX folder , clicked on the MASTER file in each of these sub
folders. These have all been added into the " Configure metastock
data plug in window "
I then highlighted each individual listing in this window in turn
and pressed the retrieve button.
I've set the data to 4000, and pressed " OK"
All of the shares and indices I have are listed in the "tree" but
they're not fully organised. At this stage every thing is in "All" ,
but all of my ASX shares / indices are under " Markets" in a NYSE
folder.
Under Groups , I have one group ,a Group O folder , which again
contains all of the ASX shares and indices.
Sectors has a Services Folder with a sub folder of Advertising which
again contains all my shares and indices.
Watch list / favourites are empty as I expected, but also indices is
empty.
I would like to changee the NYSE folder to ASX, and I would also
like to set up a correct "Sector" break up as well as having the
indices in their correct place .
I'd like to continue using Bohdi Freeway . Once I have the Amibroker
data base organised, do I just download Bohdi as per normal. One
button is nice , and it also updates my other Data bases
