I have Odin Diet & Power IndiaBulls Online Software. I am using (ODIN DIET + CHARTSDATA (Techdump)) & (PIB + PIBConverter) with AB.

We Couldn't Backfill from Odin Diet, but we can do this in PIB. Compare with PIB very quick updation in ODIN DIET. Here My Problem is I Couldn't Merge this Two Software Datas in AB.

Example:

PIB DATA Nifty Symbol is Showing : FUTNIFTY-29JUN in AB
ODIN DATA (Chartsdata) Nifty Symbol is Showing : NIFTY_JAN in AB

We Can View Both Symbol charts in Seperately . But I Want to Merge This Two Symbol Datas in One Name Like NIFTY-I .
Is it Possible? If Yes, Please Help Me .

Hello,

This is possible. Select the Symbol in which you want to merge another data (Destination). Then from Menu Symbol>>Merge, select the Symbol to be merged by selecting it through "Merge With" drop down list. You can optionally select the check box to overwrite duplicate data and / or assign an alias name so that the destination symbol will have name of the old symbol in its alias field (Menu View>>Symbol Information Window).

Note : If you are using TDI (truedataindia) to fetch PIB and ODIN data, you can mention THIS name (newly created symbol in above step) as alias name in the PIB window next to that symbol i.e. in your case for FUTNIFTY-29JUN symbol and click on update button. Once done, it will show this alias name in the main tab of PIB Window in TDI and all data from this symbol will henceforth will be imported directly into this new symbol saving the trouble henceforth.

I hope this helps.

Dear Amibroker - India,
Thankyou for your Help. I tried your step. But I couldnt Merge Both datas in one Symbol.

I logged in ODIN around 10.30 a.m. and i converted data (use with Chartsdata software) to amibroker. I could view Nifty Charts from 10.30 a.m. Here Nifty symbol was showing NIFTY_JAN .

After I logged in PIB and i converted data (use with PIB Converter software) to amibroker. I could view Nifty chart from 9.55 a.m. Here Nifty symbol was showing FUTNIFTY-29JA . I could view Both Symbol charts Seperately in Amibroker.

After I selected NIFTY_JAN symbol (ODIN DATA) in Amibroker and I Done the Following Steps. (Symbol--->Merge--->Destination:NIFTY_JAN---> merge with : FUTNIFTY-29JA ---> and Clicked Overwrite duplicates Quotes & Assign an alias name --->Ok .

After I checked NIFTY_JAN Symbol chart. Here I could view Only ODIN data from 10.30 a.m. didnt merge PIB Data (FUTNIFTY-29JA) .

I think I do correctly as per your step . But I couldnt Merge these two symbols .Please Help Me .

Hello,

The steps followed by you are correct. It has to show PIB data merged with ODIN data in AmiBroker. I hope your PIB data is having more days data than ODIN data so that you can spot the difference in data.

One correction to my previous post : when you select "Assign an Alias Name" in Merge dialogue box, it ONLY assigns alias name to the symbol where the data is being copied (to the destination symbol) i.e. if you are merging data of symbolOld in symbolNew (symbolNew is the destination), it will assign alias name symbolOld to symbolNew which is visible in Information Window (Menu View>>Symbol Information). It does not create an altogether new symbol. Sorry for the mis-information in previous post. I am correcting my previous post now.

In view of the above, if your both charts (ODIN and PIB) are showing almost similar candles, the job is actually done. Can you please re-check and let me know ?

If problem still persists and you are using registered / trial edition of AmiBroker, contact us over our email id [email protected] giving reference of this post and we will then take your PC in our control using remote desktop and analyse where is the problem.

Dear AmiBroker-India,
Thankyou for your response. Monday I try this Method in Market Hours. Before I ask one Question, Chartsdata software (ODIN DATA) is giving one minute data. But PIB Converter Software is giving Tick Data. Can we merge this two type of different timeframe data in One Symbol name ? (I Selected Base Time intervel : TICK in Amibroker Database Settings Box) . Please Can you clarify My Doubts?


Thanks,
V.V.

Hello,

Yes. When you do this (merging), the 'gaps' between minutes of Chartdata software will be 'filled in' by tick data of PIB.
