Import Metastocks Data problem

Postby Pursu » 16 Dec 2014

I am trying to import the data from my data supplier which is in metastock format.


I tried to configure MetaStock source in QuoteManager and add symbols through " from datasource " But it don't show any avaliable choice for "metastock".

The metastock status in data source is already "active"...


I remember I can do these in 8.8 ver, but i dono why it dont work in Ver 9.

Hello Pursu,

MultiCharts can read Metastock historical data ( it can be any supported resolution) if it is stored in ".dat" file and there is a "master" and/or "emaster" file next to the ".dat" files in the same folder.

those data is EOD data, suppose can be imported..

Pursu,

Please come to our live chat Monday-Friday 6:30 am - 1 pm EST to demonstrate this behavior remotely or send the "master" and "emaster" files with a couple of ".dat" files to support@multicharts.com so that we can test them on our end.
