Fibotrader : An Excellent Free TA Software

[HIREC805]

How do you update an IEOD file into fibotrader. I tried using the method outlined for EOD data (except selecting INTRADAY instead of END OF DAY) but it simply refuses to update. If someone has worked out a solution to this, I would be much grateful. Thanks

dear members,

Fibotrader for those who have not been able to purchase MS or AB.

Fibotrader is available as a completely free version. It is as strong as Amibroker. This has one limitation: The only data source available is the manual ASCII import.

As soon as the trial period of Fibotrader has expired, the program switches to the free mode automatically. Besides the data sources all other functions remain available without restrictions.

Tip: Software-Updates can be downloaded as usual through the AutoUpdate or from the website. This way you can always use the most up-to-date version of Fibotrader.

Some characteristic of Fibotrader is given below:
1. Powerful charting
2. Automatic strategy backtesting and optimization
3. Custom scripting
4. Portfolio management
5. Spreads
6. Watchlists/Alarms
7. Powerful filters
8. Multi-user support
9. statistical analysis

Fibotrader : System requirements
Minimum requirements
50 Mb hard disk memory
Windows 98/Me/2000/XP

I think it should be my duty to the new fibotrader users that
they will start their own technical analysis as soon as after installation not
to bother to customize its enviornment. For their convenience I uploaded
my own 'Main' file to Rapidshare. What u will have to do is that unzip it and copy it to
-->Fibotrader -> data folder. Restart Fibotrader.
The 'Main' file contains my own templates and sectorwise classification of NSE stocks. u could also create your own templates.

here is the EOD database(Quote_0) updated till 2nd Nov. 2006.
what u will have to do is that:
download -> unzip -> u will get the 'Quotes_0' file.

Now come to the most important part Daily UPDATE. It is not a complex task to accomplish. Just follow the steps..

as far as symbol is concerned, my symbols and the symbols used by bse-nse are exact the same. If u use bse-nse's data, delete the open interest column before importing.
2. unzip it.
3. start Quoteman.(Quoteman will not start automatically with the Fibotrader. to start Quoteman manually go to Start-> All Programs-> Fibotrader->Quoteman. If u want Quoteman will start automatically, click
on 'Preferences' tab (a wheel sign on the Fibotrader toolber, second from the left)->Preferences->general...->check the 'Start Quoteman Automatically'.

9. click on 'Start' tab-> click Detect Automatically [ a window named Progress
will appear. if it will not vanish within a few seconds just ignore it]
10. click again on Start button.
11. updation complete.
12. close the ASCII import window.
13. Enjoy it.

At this point of time don't update future from the file that bse-nse2005 yahoo group provides. my symbol is different. but don't worry. i will solve the problem for u. till then i will upload it everyday in thread Data Feeds -> EoD Update of Fibotrader.

Help needed please

Hello Soumya

I am new here and request your help. I have adjusted the stock splits for all the shares, but I need your help on BVXL & INDIABULLS.

BVXL
1. On Sep 5, 2006 the opening price is showing as 18.80 and the closing price is showing as 70.25

2. As per the NSE website, on Nov 20, 2006, the purpose given is "RIGHTS 4:7 AT PAR" I tried using the factor 0.63 but am not getting the chart right.

Attached is a screenshot of the chart incase it helps.

INDIABULLS
1. Would you be able to tell me what the factor should be for Dec 29, 2006. Should it be 0.5
I have tried, but again, the same problem.

Please do help and thanks for the selfless service.

Thanks & regards
