1. Export data via Convert to Asci or Excel files and
2. Import the outputted files back via Convert, but now to your recently newly
created MetaStock "Australian data files"-directory.
- 1+2 will use the tickers only
- For both file types be sure to use the same/correct (amount of) columns
(for example OHLCV) and also important the correct (for that particular file type)
file format + arrangement.
- Excel: check some of my older Excel-mails on this "using Excel output files",
as the files will contain blank line(s) and the Equis Trade Mark.
And the xls-filenames (each ticker = one single file) will be 8 characters only, of which
the 8th position will automaticaly will have the d (for periodicity "D") added, eg deleting
your tickercodes' original 8th.
(Only a few minor bugs to know, but also pretty darn useless when converting)
