Dear members,
I have installed fibotrader free version. Do you know how to get (1)Inside day (2) Outside day by using filter. Does anybody have script for it? Secondly, how to identify stocks which have shown sharp moves (e.g. Essaroil ) in the last 5 days or 1 month? for this, filters are to be used. However I do not know how to set this? Could anybody elaborate this.
I have raised this query several times but nobody has replied. (See my threads on 12 Dec 07, 24 Oct 07).
Thanks for your cooperation
udayvd

Hats off to Soumya and other esteemed professionals of this thread for their kind contribution.

I downloaded the software - updated with all data and got it working in less than 6 hours. This is really amazing piece of software.

Once again, I appreciate your efforts in putting things together and extending a helping hand.

Cheers,
Skilz

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

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.

dear suba,

A Very Happy New Year to you and all other members of this forum.

Following your instructions I could locate the Main file. but i clearly could not follow brother soumya's instructions - particularly when he said, " 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."
would you please help me in understanding this clearly?
Secondly i could not get his Main file from the link given. Would you please help me in getting that?
although i downloaded the EOD database(Quote_0) updated till 2nd Nov. 2006; i could not unzip it?

hope to get a reply from your side.

thanks in advance.

regards,

raju
