Hello,
I had tried out your EOD Download/ Convert from NSE and BSE and it is working well for NSE and BSE scrips except for certain errors i came across.
For NSE derivatives it is downloading Bhavcopies to a wrong folder. I am not sure it is the correct folder. The derivatives Bhavcopies are downloaded to the converted Data folder , Derivatives, which consists of stockwise converted output folder also.
I checked thrice by downloading derivatives bhavcopis. I thought the bhavcopies should get downloaded to downloads folder. I also could not see a seperate folder for NSE derivatives bhavcopies in the downloads folder. Only BSE, NSE and other folder was there.
The second problem i faced was i cannot select the ouput conversion details selections for NSE derivatives. The selection controls are stuck. In the conversion page input details of CSV bhavcopies are shown and in the output part of this page the various details like open, high etc are clearly shown.
But in the output sequence only few details are shown like date, open close etc. Some of the details like volume , scrip name etc cannot be transferred or activated because the selection and transfer buttons are not activated.
Another error is In BSE converted output the ACC has three output files.
A.C.C. Ltd from 17 th May 2006 to 30th May 2006,
A.C.C. 20th march 2006 to 29th Sep 2006,
ACC Ltd from 3rd Oct 2006 to 24th Nov 2006.
Another thing i would like to know is wheter the futures contracts are continously updated by the utility after expiry period of a contract.
Does the utility retain the downloaded bhavcopy files or does it delete it automatically after conversion. For me all the BSE bhavcopies were not in the downloads folder when i had opened the utility again.
The installation part was not comfortable since i had to make decisons regarding which files to keep and the use of retry and ignore button. So i am not sure the utility got installed properly during the first time.
I installed it for a second time but the same problems persists. This time BSE bhavcopies got downloaded to BSE Data conversion folders. Not sure what i am doing wrong. May be a new complete installation package with latest update files will solve these installation problems. My version of OS is Win XP latest.
The utility also keeps checking for internet connection. This checking routine may be dispensed with if possible.
A user has to select very carefully the the source and destination folders independently, as any mistake may delete the files. Is it possible to select and set the source and destination folders for all types of data seperately so that every time a user need not reset it. ie once i select NSE equities or other options, the corresponding source and destination files already set by me earlier are restored together.
Is it also possible to give a selection for the converted output by way of stockswise or datewise. Currently the utility converts the bhavcopies to both formats. Kindly advise.
Is it also possible to make a default output settings for ASCII and Metastock format for all three source of datas. ie for NSE cash and derivatives and BSE.
The ASCII ouput should be compatible with MS downloader for converting to MS Data.This seems to be one major problem area.
Or is it possible to incorpoarate a free MS conversion utility like Manzoors MS convertor using command lines in your utility so that MS downloader is not required.
Another suggestion i have is why to download NSE index details seperately. It will be better if it can be done simultaneously along with Bhavcopy download.
Currently in my opinion it is only your utiity that has features to download and convert data for NSE cash, Derivatives, BSE. I am currently using Satyas
Data extractor. But it can only be used for NSE cash and very easy to use and install.
But i am sure users would prefer to have a single utlity to download and convert data from BSE and NSE
