Hello Don, Yes, that does help, thanks. I appreciate everyone who chip in at the forums.
I have been using MS for a while and am in the process of changing over to Ami, mainly for the very good AFL and backtesting features. I am still learning AB. I have an open mind and I am trying out as many of the features/providers etc as I can. What steps did you follow for the intitial setup? I have my data in C/Metastock Data. I created a new Ami database C/Program Files/Amibroker/My Reuters, set the datasource to Metastock plugin and configured it with C/Metastock data as the folder path and retrieved the symbols (AB said, "done") but I don't have any data to view. /My Reuters has the Ami setup OK (workspace files etc but all the folders are empty). Any suggestions? Brian. --- In [email protected], "Don Lindberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Brian, > > I signed up for the one month free trial for EQUIS MetaStock.
