Hi,
apologies for what seems a simple question - still a noobee with MC!
I am setting up existing metastock data in multicharts, which I get through a 3rd party (norgate).
The 3rd party automatically seperates data into various folders, and I would like to replicate this process in MC, but can't see how.
Example:
Folder 1 - ASX20 - contains top 20 stocks in ASX
Folder 2 - ASX200 - contains top 200 stocks in ASX
Folder 3 - ASX100 - contains top 100 stocks in ASX
etc, etc
Is there a simple way to replicate this structure? I would like to set my data up like this, as I have different strategies for different data folders. As well as folders set up by index, I also have folders set up by sector, etc.
All in all, about 50 folders.
I tried cloning the metastock data source, and creating it that way, but didn't get very far.... comments are appreciated!
Cheers,
Bruce

Re: Setting up data / folders
really, nobody knows how to do this?
Doesn't anyone on this forum trade stocks ? - its a pretty standard thing to have different scripts for either different sectors or different indicies.

Dear Bruce,
You should add all your folders to QM-->Tools-->Data Sources-->Metastock and then replicate the structure that you need using workspaces.

Hi Dave,
if I set up a workspace for each one, how could I do backtesting etc?
