I am in the process of migrating from Metastock to AmiBroker having discovered the latter solves a lot of my frustrations with the limitations of the former.
I trade mainly the European markets but am now thinking of branching out to the US. I use EOD data from Reuters and intraday from IB looking on the web this still seems to be my best option for data. So I'm thinking I will keep the data feed. Where I need help is as follows: 1. I currently access the EOD data using the Metastock plugin. Would I be better off importing the data into Amibroker? If so is there anyway to automate this and to just pick up the updates? 2. I want to setup the database with each country as a separate market in AmiBroker. Is the only way to do this by loading all the stocks then going through using the Organise Assignments option or can I load them from a list of symbols in a text file? I've looked at the UserGuide and searched this group but haven't as yet found how to do this. 3. I want to setup groupings of stocks such as the FT100, CAC40. Is the Group property best for this? Is there a way to do this from a list of symbols? 4. Once I have the symbols in markets and groups, I was then going to try and assign them to sectors and industries using the JSScript quoted in the UG. Is this the best thing to do or would I be better doing it all at once? I would appreciate it if someone could just point me in the right direction. Thanks, Howard
