Why are you using Metastock Importer together with the
Metastock plug-in (see Users Guide)? Is the plug-in actually loaded
(Tools|Plug-in|Load)? If the databases and configuration settings are
correct, the plug-in is loaded and the Metastock database is open then
based on my understanding of your situation the plug-in should work.
Suggest re-reading the Users Guide sections on Metastock Importer and Metastock
Plug-in and double check that the settings and procedure are OK. If
nothing shows up there then unless someone else chimes in I suggest letting
support walk you through. The plug-in does work so you will get it
going.

external EOD update & Amibroker MS plugin
Thanks Bill
I have all all the paths to the native
MSData folders (all 28 of
them) loaded into the MS plugin (under
"Configure") & the database
Folder is pointing to the AB folder
C:\Program
Files\Amibroker\MSData but the plugin is not updating the the
AB
datbase as I see it which I assume is used as a cache for fast
access. Which does not quite make sense to me as I have the "local
data storage:" disabled - but as the notes suggest it is created and
has to be there the way the program is written and should be updated
from the Metastock folder via the plugin.
The data that is shown on
the charts was updated manually using
the "File > Import Metastock Data
..." up to and including 12/2/09.
The Metastock Folder have been updated
to 13/2/09 but the plugin is
not pulling that in - so I suspect that its
not working for some
reason and just loading the AB database which seems
to be static.
Any further suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks
Ed

And you don't have to start from scratch, etc.
Just be sure that
MDdata is going into a folder and that you have a
specified a Metastock
database for AB (2 different things). You
tell the plug-in
where to find MDdata data in the Configure settings
and it puts it into
the AB Metastock database that you created where
it stays until it is
updated. If you are using other programs that
use Metastock format
then like the plug-in they also pick up MDdata
data from the folder that
MDdata uses. At least that's my
understanding and the way it seems
to work for me.
