You do not need Metastock software. Most Downloader programs give option to store the data in Metastock format as it is the most common format most TA packages support. AB can read Metastock files directly via MS Plugin.   John   --- Original Message ----- From: areehoi To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 5:19 PM Subject: [amibroker] Re: Ascii vs. Metastock format opions please To continue with the metastock data you will have to keep using Metastock and daily updating its database. As I former MetaStock user I found this inconvenient and swithed to the USStocks database (now th Hemscott db). To me it is a no brainer to use ascii data as it is more compatible with most software.
