Re: [amibroker] Quotes Plus Mutual Funds

Hi Ken - I see that Joe has already come up with a solution for you. When I went back to QP recently, I did not sign up for SPP since I am now concentrating only on 2x +/- funds. There are not that many of them so I just created my watchlists by hand. I did want to get the funds themselves into AB so I could access them there, but for testing, etc I generally use the benchmark indices rather than the funds themselves. QP lacks several of these benchmarks, especially for the foreign markets, so for these I substitute the most popular ETF's instead.
 
BTW, if you like the 2x funds, don't forget about DireXion. Their American funds are 2.5-beta. Also, for anyone that might not be aware, ProFunds introduced their 2x +/- ETF's last month. See www.proshares.com for more info.

Many thanks.  Now that I am signed up, am discovering various unfriendly aspects to the program(s) that I guess I did not discover or try hard enough during the trial period.  But I want the data (mainly the ranks which can be imported into AB) so I will have to slog thru a learning curve, just like with ..... well ...... AB.  I dont want to do complex things, just isolate ETFs and Rydex/Profunds Mutual Funds.  Should be simple and almost intuitive.  It is not.
 
Thanks for the response.
 
Ken
 
PS:  If you dont mind, is the easiest way to get a Watchlist of the Rydex/Profunds Mutual Funds to import via a lst or txt file of the symbols??

Ken - By Default, QP plugin does not retrieve MF's or futures. Go to File > Database Settings > Configure, check the box for MF's and hit Retrieve.

Maybe this is obvious, but how do I chart Quotes Plus 3 Mutual Funds.
 
I do not see any data plugin just for QP Mutual Funds.
 
I am plotting stocks and ETFs find with the QP3 database.  I have mutual fund data on my drive (can plot with QP charting package), but I do not see how to make AB do that.
 
Thanks for your suggestions.
