Prior to working w/ Amibroker I was using Databull to download end
of data data for about 8000 stocks into an ascii format. When I
started using Amibroker I was still using Databull for that and used
Amiquote for Amibroker but it was a pain.
Then I realized Databull could do both and it's working great.
Here is what I did:
1. In Databull you need to make sure the Amibroker option
is "checked". You can have multiple data output sources checked.
2. Set up a new database in Amibroker. You do not need the list of
symbols/tickers.
3. Make sure Amibroker is open and that this is the active database
that is open.
4. Run Databull. If it is your first time and you, for instance,
want to backfill 10 years of data, use the "historical" download.
Then, each evening you can use "current". If you don't have a
stock / ticker list it will create one during the first conversion.
5. Databull runs and downloads the data. At the very end you see
somewhere on the screen (I think at the bottom) it says "Exporting
to AmiBroker" or something similar.
I have found this much easier then trying to run 2 downloads each
night. (I don't use for Intraday data).
