Dear Karthik, Murthy And All Members Who Contributed To This Thread, Since I Am A 'johnny Come Lately' I Had The Benefit Of Hindsight Regarding The Information In This Thread. I Have Followed The Instructions Regarding Population Of Amibroker's Database With Clean Data. I Would Like To Submit A Couple Of Observations,
1. The Seed Data Used Was The 'clean' File Posted By Soumya, The Rest Was Populated Using Files From Yahoo Nse-bse Group. However The Data Is Not Squeaky Clean As There Are Ohlc Relationship Violations(can Be Disregarded As Most Of These Are In The Nineties), A Couple Of Splits/bonus Issues Of Shares Had Been Missed Out And Few Shares Are Indicating Extra Or Missed Quotes (used Bhel/nifty As Reference).
2. I Ran The Afl Of All My Stocks. The Results As On 10 Mar 07 Were Then Compared With The List(share By Share). Came Up With A Few Stocks Which Are Shown As Not Traded Which Were In The List(some Since 2006) I Guess Could Be Due To Symbol Change. However I Could Not Find Confirmation On The Net (enclosing The List).
3. The Idea Is Not To Give Offense But To Bring Out Some Inconsistencies (maybe In My Data Only) As Clean Data Is The Source For All Our Endeavours.
4. I Must Say It's A Shame That This Thread Has Not Been Contributed To For Quite Some Time As In My Opinion I Found This Thread To Be The Central Underpinning Of The Whole Trading 'raison D'etre'. A Few Requests, If Feasible,
1 Experienced Members Contributing To This Thread May Think Of Posting Updates To Symbol Changes, New Listings, And Splits/bonuses Since The Last Info.(maybe This Info Could Be Used As A Sticky Post Service For All Concerned (just A Thought!) I Suggest This Because Some Of Us May Not Be As Net Or Computer Savvy As Others And Would Not Be Able To Find All The Info.
Speaking For Myself, I Would Be Glad To Contribute In Whichever Way I Can With The Constraints Of My Limited Abilities.
Kudos To The People Who Made This Thread A Real Masterpiece Of An Act Of Selfless Service For The 'newbies'
Regards,
