Ok,,,,, but what was Tomasz comment about Norgate and an Amibroker based database in regard to the latest release.... something about they are supposed to be working on a native Amibroker solution... or something like that.... it was in the release notes of one of the latest Amibroker versions.... What was that about? In a message dated 9/9/2009 11:19:37 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Kevin The data is actually stored on your PC in Metastock format, which Amibroker reads through it's Metastock data plugin. Once you've run the integration script to set up the database, all you do is open Ambroker with the XXX-PremiumData database and everything is there, no conversion needed. Easy as can be.

Is that what you are saying? In a message dated 9/9/2009 10:57:57 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] a message Hi Kevin, Norgate is very much around and runnig. I have been using their data for about four years and find the quality and reliability excellent. You get a little utility to click on from your desktop to do the updates which is a one click affair - very easy. I get the Australian market data of about 2,000 equities and this takes about 2 minutes to download each night. They supply USA data including futures and currencies and some other International bourses data. The updates, splits, new listings are all done automatically, normally during the weekend. Norgate data is imported natively into AmiBroker using the Metastock plug-in. Even better, Norgate automatically creates and maintains your GICS databases for US and Australian stocks and this goes down to sub-industry group levels with the release of AmiBroker 5.8.xx beta. As Richard Dale of Norgate once stated: we have to maintain the absolute best quality data as this is the only business we are in. I have no connection or pecuniary interests with Norgate - just a very satisfied customer.
