Use the Converter.xlsm to convert the Subha CSV to Amibroker format. Then use the import wizard.

Out put format of Excel is : "ALUMINI-I,20140919,119.3,119.7,118.75,118.95,11709,5246" is the same as Getbhavcopy format.

That is correct. 3:30pm is the next candle start time while 2:59:59 pm is the previous candle close time.

You can play around with the Tools-->Preference-->Intraday-->Time stamp settings to see which you like the most

so here is the ATR trailing stop loss afl code , guys please share your views , 1 thing i am confused about it is that it doesnt get touched by candles at all , then how the stop loss will work ?

_SECTION_BEGIN("ATR Stop");
P = ParamField("Price field",3);
ATRP = Param( "ATR Period", 5, 1, 10, 1 );
factor = Param( "Multiple", 2, -10, 10, 0.25 );
stop = P + ATR(ATRP) * factor ;
Plot( stop, "ATR Stop", ParamColor( "Color", colorCycle ), ParamStyle("Style") );
_SECTION_END();

Toocool,

I guess the AFL is not correct in the sense that it is not a Trailing Stop but a variable Stop where the Stop level keep changing (upwards as well as downwards i.e., two-way) along with the change in price.

A trailing Stop should only trail only one-way (not two-way) that is in case of Longs- it should only trail upwards and in case of down move it should not trail downwards but the Stoploss should be hit.

Similarity, in case of Sorts - it should only trail downwards and in case of up move it should not trail upwards but the Stoploss should be hit.

Request the experts to modify the AFL to incorporate the changes required to change the variable Stop AFL to Trailing Stop AFL.

Thanx

Umesh ji ,
i am having only intraday data if i want to mix both (intraday & eod ) then what is the procedure?
Thanks & regards.

Import IEOD data into the EOD data base then you will get IEOD and EOD seamlessly.
