john......1.you can't use IRIS data to any other software in this world except IRIS.so NO metastock or amibroker alongwith IRIS....2.they are saying to me about this real time futures data to be available within a few months from march......but till today I haven't got that.....the management wrote to me few days back that they can't make me sure about the date from which the live futures data will be available.......so be careful before subscribing.
Hi,
I refer to Hari09omkar's comment. Is this factually correct? Has anyone tried / or know of anyone who has tried to inspect and convert IRIS data structures (EOD and/or Intraday) into ASCII to use in Metastock or Amibroker?
I use IRIs from time im-memorial (one of their first clients
and its a fantastic software. I does'nt do everything, but what it does it does well. Their data is also good. Considering its not cheap, it would make a lot of sense if we could add value to our subscription by using the data on other softwares like MS or AB for backtesting.
So has anyone succesfully found a way to use IRIS data on other softwares?
PS:
The guys at Spider. I know you are reading this. If you dont open up your database structures soon, someone will find a way to do it and then you will be fighting a losing battle. Notice how Equis open up their data structures and are now the defacto industry standard for any TA package or data downloader. It hasnt hurt their sales any. On the contrary, it has led to succesful ancillarisation.
