Metastock - How to import intraday data

[devStock]

Hi All

I have metastock 10 professional version.
I got imported the following ABAN futures data using downloader

ABAN_F1,D,20080925,103259,2365.0000,2365.0000,2365.0000,2365.0000,50,0
ABAN_F1,D,20080925,103359,2365.0000,2365.0000,2364.1499,2364.1499,800,0
ABAN_F1,D,20080925,103459,2364.1499,2365.1001,2364.1499,2365.1001,350,0
ABAN_F1,D,20080925,103559,2365.1001,2365.1001,2365.0000,2365.0000,700,0

ABAN_F1,D,20080925,161359,2323.7000,2323.7000,2321.2500,2321.2500,650,0

But i am not able to see the intraday chart. It is showing only one symbol for 25/09. When edited, i only found single entry in the Downloader. It seems that downloader only imported the Daily periodicity data instead of intraday. I have also selected the intraday periodcity before importing. But it did not help.

Any help ?

Dev ,
Make sure few things.
1st check if u have metastock 10.1 pro version or 10 Eod. MS 10 will not import intraday tick data.

2nd in case of u own 10.1 pro then , make sure u tick intraday in options.

As far as ur tick file is concern i dont think its valid. Please follow the ASCII format of Metastock import.

Regards,
Darsh

Thanks for replying.

I have metastock 10.1 Pro version.
Normally, i used to import the following ASCII format for EOD
3IINFOTECH,20080401,101,102,97.3,99.9,108945

but this does not have the time.
Please, tell me the changes required in this format ( for intraday) or Give me the ASCII format that i should use to import the Intraday quotes.

Thanks
