I am unable to understand your query . The following is the online help file in which how to configure Amibroker path , db and other details are mentioned.
myQuotes Online Help
The downloaded folder contains three files. The main application, myQuotes.exe, a "symbollist.txt" text file and an Amibroker format file, namely, "myquotes.format".
Copy (or Cut) the "myquotes.format" file and Paste it in the Format folder where Amibroker is installed. If Amibroker is installed in "C:\Program Files\AmiBroker\" then look for the "Format" folder there and Paste the "myquotes.format" file in the "C:\Program Files\Amibroker\Format\" folder. Remember, the format file contains several files with the extension "format".
Open the "symbollist.txt" file and append the yahoo symbols as per your wish. Enter a single symbol in each line. Some symbols are already appended, the same will give you enough hint. Currently the application will read upto 50 symbols. The "symbollist.txt" file and "myQuotes.exe" should share the same folder.
Login to Yahoo
myQuotes will first ask you to login to yahoo. Do login using your existing yahoo id (yahoo id ending with .com extentions. Even ymail will do) or create a new id using your browser and then login.
Select AmiBroker Path
Select the path where you want the Amibroker database to be created. If you select the folder say, "C:\Program Files\Amibroker\" then the complete Amibroker database path will be "C:\Program Files\Amibroker\Yahoo Intraday Data\".
Note: Selecting a path does not create a Amibroker database.
Configure Time Settings
Yahoo appends the time stamp as per Eastern Standard Time. To localize the time stamp go to Settings > Options and in the Adjust Time tab make the necessary changes. Do keep in mind the daylight savings adjustment is to be made as and when required. For example if you are from India you will have to add ten hours thirty minutes in winter and nine hours thirty minutes in summer.
Ok, configureation of myQuotes is complete.
Configure Amibroker Database
Now start Amibroker (data wont be saved if you dont start Amibroker) and select the database "Yahoo Intraday Data" database. If the database does not exits then create one by that name.
In Amibroker, goto Files>Database Settings..
in the Database settings make sure that the Base time interval is set at "Tick". If it is set at any other time interval change the same to "Tick" and click "OK".
Ok you are all set to go. Click on "Start Yahoo RT Data" get real time stock quotes from yahoo.
Note: If the "Yahoo Intraday Data" database does not exits in the selected path then myQuotes will create it automatically. Hopefully this will fill the data grid view with the data and append the data to Amibroker.
Ok, thats set ☺
PP.S. - myQuotes does not save the data. So make sure Amibroker is running while myQuotes is running. Data will be saved when you close Amibroker.
On the webpage u would find image files also describing details of the configuration.
I hope this is what u require ...

Raju
