Yes,
Data importing using "importing metastock data" works, but setting the data
source to "metastock plugin" doesnt.
I am
trialling it out on importing a few tickers only. Can Amiquote
remember the translation table or I'll have to reload it everytime it
starts?
Paul.
Paul,
You can import
data and it gets stored locally in the AmiBroker database
even though
your using the MS Plugin but you first need to solve the
problem of
duplicate ticker names.
Maybe you can rename all your US tickers with a
.US suffix (i.e MSFT.US)
and then use the symbol translation table in
AmiQuote to match
them with the real ticker name. So the entry in the
translation table
would be MSFT.US,MSFT
You can easily create this for
all the US stocks in one go and then paste it
into the AmiQuote translation
table.
Let us know how you get on.
