Hi Lohiya,

1) When I search 4 a symbol, say ranbaxy in chart gallery, it shows many results like ranbaxy laboratories ltd., ranbaxy_1m, ranbaxy_2m, ranbaxy_3m etc. What do they all mean?.
Symbol Identification :
1. NSE -> <Name>ABB Limited -><Symbol>ABB
2. BSE -> <Name>ABB LTD. -> <Code>500002
3. Future -> ABB_1M For Current month
ABB_2M For 2nd month
ABB_3M For 3rd month

On charting some show weird data, esp. abt volume.
Few BSE stocks have abnormal data. u have to correct it by yourself.

2) what exactly does the local symbol mean?
every security has an unique symbol for identification. in Fibotrader 'Local Symbol' refers to that.

3)Can it show an indicator and the main chart in the same window?
do u mean 'Overlay'?
if Yes, sorry to say that it is not possibe in Fibotrader.

thanks,
Soumya

sorry 2 end-post so early. i'd like contradict post #143 n 144 above, by compound scrips n indices mentioned in fibo-help, can i, say, introduce s&p cnx nifty (index) along with nse-abb (scrip) in one chart simultaneously - by some script, disabling the the affect of study on indices thru layering(y/n)?
 
Hello soumya,
How are you?
The help file in fibotrader says that we can develop our own custom filters or indicators based on our own trading strategies. I would like to know what is the language to learn so that i can learn to do some scripting. I want to develop some very simple filters based on certain criteria which are not available in fibotrader.
Please guide me.

Thanks

Hi Satish,
Sowmya has already developed certain custom filters or indicators and has uploaded it to rapidshare for downloading all members. I appreciate the selfless work done by sowmya. Kindly read her first post in this thread. My request to you is, if you develop some filters or indicators, please upload them to rapidshare so that other members can also use them. That will be in line with the motto of this Forum. I hope you will bestow your earnest attention to this request.

Real Time Data 4 fibotrader

Some members here have posted utilities(DataExtractor etc.) which can fetch realtime intraday data.
Can such a utility be integrated with the trial v of fibotrader? Soumya_b and others pls throw light.
regards
lohiya.
 
Dear Soumya,

Thank you for providing constant guidence on the subject.

Could you advise how to write the formula or create a system for creating a stoploss based on the lowest closing for the last 3 days.

Regards.

SKH
try with this one : $CloseBar < Lag(Min($CloseBar, 2))

Thanks,
Soumya

Hi Soumya,

First of all my compliments for the great work done by you for people new to doing their own TA. your guide for Fibotrade is really wonderful.

I have faced very peculiar problem.

I have installed the software as guided by you in your first post and updated data you have uploaded on rapidshare. Every thing works fine for data till 4 Aug. which you have provided.

I downloaded data for 7/8/2006 from yahoo group mentioned by you on first post and imported the data through quoteman. But on all charts for 7/8/2006 open value is not correct and is very high and therefore bar for 7/8/06 is touching the top of charts. In few cases the the open value is very low therefore the bar is touching the bottom of chart.

Can you guide me where I might have gone wrong.

thanks

Sanjay
