Question About AB & CSI Futures Data
Thank
you Tomasz!
Rudi,
will it be possible to include futures exports directly to Amibroker?
Guesstimated

[amibroker] Question About AB & CSI Futures Data
Importance: High
Hello,
Of course it
is NOT true. AmiBroker can do futures perfectly. It has even features
DEDICATED for futures traders in backtester.
The only
limitation is that CSI EXPORTER (the one included in Unfair Advantage)
does not
export futures to AB.
So it is not
our fault - but the limitation of their UA exporter.
However,
there is a workaround - you can either export CSI futures data to ASCII
or
Metastock database
by yourself
and use either AMiBroker's ASCII import wizard or Metastock plugin http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_extsources.html
to access the
MS database and futures exported to it.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

Hi terry,
As far as I know,
AmiBroker does not support futures data.
Has this changed?
Thanks,

Could someone who
is using Amibroker & CSI futures data please help me
figure something
out? I
would like to
subscribe to CSI in order to
chart futures
data in AB. Specifically, I would like to be able to
chart
back-adjusted futures contracts. My question is: Can I chart
back-adjusted
data directly from the CSI data source (e.g. is there a
symbol setup for
that)? If not, can I create the data series in UA &
set it to export
automatically every night when the system updates?
Essentially, I am
trying to ensure that I do not have to use UA to
view
back-adjusted charts or that there is not something messy like
manually
exporting the data every day.
