You do not need Metastock software. Most Downloader programs give option to store the data in Metastock format as it is the most common format most TA packages support. AB can read Metastock files directly via MS Plugin.

To continue with the metastock data you will have to keep using
Metastock and daily updating its database. As I former MetaStock user
I found this inconvenient and swithed to the USStocks database (now th
Hemscott db). To me it is a no brainer to use ascii data as it is more
compatible with most software.
