Hi darsh
First step is to download data for the desired period till date.
NSE:
1. EOD data
2. Delivery Data
3. Indices Data
4.IndiaVix
(NSE Yield data is optional)
BSE:
1.EOD
2.Delivery Data
3.Indices Data
Then go to Convert.
Select Exchange If you want to use files then Uncheck the Option
use database.
If you select USe database option then All indices and Indiavix will be included in the output file for NSE. Same for BSE.
Unhide Advance Views for Input and output folder. Check if Options prescribed are as per Metastock. i.e. Header as needed for Meta stock .
Mostly default is for Metastock so you may not need to change it.
You can also select if you need Stock wise file as well or only date wise file.
See the output sequence. In right hand box you should have desired field and data in the sequence as they would appear in output.
Mostly , Ticker,date,OHLCV is needed.Other things are optional.
Once you are satisfied click Convert.
Data for each date will be converted and stored in Converted folder.
Open metastock and Point to Import option and select files in Converted folder to be imported.
Indices are also seperately stored in Indices folder of respective Exchange. Those files are metastock compatible.
There is another way, if Metastock supportd ODBC databases. Just Point to DSN Name EODDLC and Select EOD_BSE, EOD_NSE , EOD_MCX, EOD_NCDEX tables and import data by selecting relevant fields. Here as and when you add data same will be imported by METASTOCK or AMIBROKER.
There are several other functions which need seperate elaboration.Help file is sorely needed.

AMIBroker also supports this operation.
