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. It 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 **********. 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.

download link :

here is the EOD database(Quote_0) updated till 2nd Nov. 2006.
what u will have to do is that:
download -> unzip -> u will get the 'Quotes_0' file.

Part-II --> Updation Process

Now come to the most important part Daily UPDATE. It is not a complex task to accomplish. Just follow the steps..
1. download the daily update file from http://in.groups.**********/group/bse-nse2005/. u can also use my daily update file from http://www.traderji.com/data-feeds/6885-eod-update-fibotrader.html.
as far as symbol is concerned, my symbols and the symbols used by bse-nse are exact the same.
If u use bse-nse's data, delete the open interest column before importing.
2. unzip it.
3. start Quoteman.(Quoteman will not start automatically with the Fibotrader. to start Quoteman manually go to Start-> All Programs-> Fibotrader->Quoteman. If u want Quoteman will start automatically, click
on 'Preferences' tab (a wheel sign on the Fibotrader toolber, second from the left)->Preferences->general...->check the 'Start Quoteman Automatically'.
i don't prefer Quoteman to start automatically.
4. click 'Data' -> Import-> click 'ASCII file'
5. A window named 'ASCII import' will appear.
6. select 'End of day'.
7. choose the appropriate file.
8. check the 'Save in folder' check box. select the appropriate folder in which u will save your data.[ when u will update NSE choose NSE folder, for BSE choose BSE folder and for future choose Future folder]
9. click on 'Start' tab-> click Detect Automatically [ a window named Progress
will appear. if it will not vanish within a few seconds just ignore it]
10. click again on Start button.
11. updation complete.
12. close the ASCII import window.
13. Enjoy it.

At this point of time don't update future from the file that bse-nse2005 ***** group provides. my symbol is different. but don't worry. i will solve the problem for u. till then i will upload it everyday in thread Data Feeds -> EoD Update of Fibotrader.

Here u will find some useful TIPS on Fibotrader :-

Hello,
I am facing a wierd problem in uploading the Options EOD data, as follows:
When I load any day's data - say for example, march 03,'09, it gets uploaded. I can see the data and the entry of the same in left window.
Now, when i upload (using Quoteman), the earlier day's data, it creates another entry of the same strike price....say for example, if i've uploaded two days data, I get 2 entries of NIFTY 2600 PE, each showing the prices of that day - as against the fact that it should be merged into 1.
I tried various permutations and combinations by ticking on:
Delete Existing Quotes (slower) - IDEALLY, I KNOW I SHOULD NOT BE DOING THAT....
Only import quotes for symbols which exist in the database

I tried checking on both / one b4 importing- but nothing worked.

Can u please help on the same.
warm regards...rbhapkar
 
Hi Soumya,
I'm new to the forum.. and so to fibotrader... I downloaded it successfully, but the Main and Quotes_0 have the Invalid Links...

Hi,

I m unable to properly import the Nseindia.com-EOD data into Fibotrader.
When I import the data using Quoteman and then start the Fibotrader software, charts do not show the Scripts but instead shows the datefile (the CVS/TXT file imported by me in the Quoteman) in place of the Script name and no graphs is appearing.

Any user of Fibotrader who imports the ASCII files from Nseindia.com or Getbhavcopy.com please Help me.
