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

I think it should be my duty to the new Fbotrader 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.

download link :

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..
1. download the daily update file from http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/bse-nse2005/. u can also use my daily update file from http://www.traderji.com/data-feeds/6885-eod-update-fibotrader.html.
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'.

5. A window named 'ASCII import' will appear.
6. select 'End of day'.

will appear. if it will not vanish within a few seconds just ignore it]
10. click again on Start button.

Hi Soumya and Fibotrader,

Thanks for this great software and all the help you are providing.

I want to know how to do following things
1. create particular template e.g. I want check ROC of all the stocks and sort top 10 and worst 10 stocks in terms of ROC.

2. How to add filter for stocks which are going up/down more than market?

3. I do not see buy and sell signals for all the default templates, how do I configure that?

4. Suppose I want moving avg cross over template for 3 moving averages and its buy and sell signals, how shd I add it?

5. Backtesting - Suppose If I want to apply the template to particular stock/index or particular folder and backtest how it performed for say last 5 yrs with starting capital 100000.

Let me know if above questions have already been answered in this forum already.

Thanks,
Amit
 
Hi Soumya,
I have downloaded the software and the data files, however when I try to open Qoutesman ,it does not launch on the screen, it just shows an icon on the right hand bottom of the screen.
I am not able to configure the data files to Qoutesman.
I've tried downloading the software, it's of no help.
I have Win 2000 as O.S.

Please suggest.


Regards,
money.
