Dear Vjay !

1. Go to Symbol - Categories - Select Market Tab - Market 0 - Edit Name, Change to NSE or something you like.
2. Select Market 1 - Edit Name, Change to BSE.

Close.

Next,

3. Go to Symbol - Organize assignments. Select all BSE scrips and transfer them to BSE. It should be easy as the BSE symbols are all numbers, so a sort would sort it out.

Select first scrip - hold shift key - select the last BSE symbol - and press the arrow key on the right.

Make sure you have chosen the right market that you have renamed in step 1.

4. The rest of the scrips left will be NSE. Select all and transfer them to the NSE Market.


So, here you have same database, but different market.

Hope this will be easy for you, else, please post your query and attach screen shots.

Thanks.:thumb:

Try this, it may work.

Save it by another name into custom folder, make the necessary changes to the renamed AFL and run it in place of the original one.

Yes, this procedure will segregate all your CURRENT symbols into BSE & NSE markets or by whatever name you want.

But whenever new BSE & NSE symbols are added by the future EOD data files, they will be added into the default market as set in the format file used for importing EOD data.

If the BSE & NSE EOD data is in separate files, they may be imported using different format files, each specifying the market into which the newly added symbols may be put.

If above procedure is confusing, the procedure suggested by shajans may have to be repeated periodically.

Just supplemented so that all required information on the process of segregation may be available at a single place.

Thanks.

hi murthy,

did dat already....still nothing...is there somethin more to be changed in some other function in the formula apart from the volume part of it?

Hi!
Anyone can help me in this matter?

I have downloaded NSE EOD data by using Hemen kapadia's Getbhavcopy utility.
After Importing ASCII in amibroker, I see all symbols but while selecting a script (i.e Tata motors) I am getting the following message in all panes.

Not enough data available.
To plot any chart at least 3 data bars are needed, but there are only 1 bars in Tatamotors

Thanks
Senthil

Possible verification:

1. Check that the daily data has been imported correctly -- Symbol -> Quote Editor

2. Check that you are viewing daily charts -- View -> Daily

Help requested with Bollinger Bands Optimization

Please help me learn optimization and on a bollinger band.

This is my price chart, black background, yellow bars (not candlesticks), dotted red bollinger band. I would like to optimize the bollingerband with the variables below.

Please help with code change so that all the variables of the bollinger band can be optimized for a given dataset. Also, once the optimized values are set in variables, the bollingerband will be charted with new values and same can be used in trading strategy.

valBollingerBandsDefaultLookbackPeriod = 15 ;
valBollingerBandsMaxLookback = 20 ;
valBollingerBandsMinLookback = 10 ;
valBollingerBandsLookbackStep = 1 ;

valBollingerBandsDefaultStdVariation = 2 ;
valBollingerBandsMaxStdVariation = 3 ;
valBollingerBandsMinStdVariation = 1 ;
valBollingerBandsStdVariationStep = .05 ;

_SECTION_BEGIN("Price");
SetChartOptions(0,chartShowArrows|chartShowDates);
_N(Title = StrFormat("{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}} {{DATE}} Open %g, Hi %g, Lo %g, Close %g (%.1f%%) {{VALUES}}", O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 ) ) ));
Plot( C, "Close", ParamColor("Color", colorBlack ), styleNoTitle | ParamStyle("Style") | GetPriceStyle() );
