CS thanks for the response.
The answer is yes to your questions below.
Each MS directory has a Master & Emaster & are accessed by both
Metastock & Tradestation on this machine (done so for many years),
it would not have "Imported Metsatock Data" manually otherwise, and
the paths are correct.
as for the MS Plugin I have the Configure Paths to Metastock folders
set for all the folders I use for both MS and TS.
Your comment about a "crippled" MS Plugin intrigues me even though
the ticker names are there in the data AB has stored/or reads.
I will try to set up another machine tomorrow - and see if that
presents a different result.
BTW how do I delete the MSData data base only and leave the
QuoteTracker database in tact - is it a manual process by deleting
the folder eg C:\Program Files\AmiBroker\MSData? Is there any effect
on the registry settings?
Below from my original post:14/2/2009
-------------------------------------
Using AmiBroker 5.20 Professional edition.
Current Configuration:
Default load on startup uses local AB Quotetraker data base (for
intraday input - that works as required no problem there.
Metastock Plugin: New DB created called "MSData"
Data base settings are:
Metastock data Plug-in
Local data storage: Disable
Daily bars: 1000 (what ever!)
Base interval: End-of-Day
Configure:
All paths to Metastock data folders: are loaded
- retieved symbols (although I originally used Import MD Data to
populate the internal AB database during the trial AmiBroker test -
which did not allow saving a loacal database).
------------------------------
Thanks for your input
Still learning
