F C Chart Customisation using Nse Data

1.Save nse tickers in to csv text.(If you have any doubt regarding the correctness of nse ticker kindly down load bhav copy which is in the opening page of nseindia.com and verify or else under the historical data section there is one button for” symbol look up”.) Save the nse tickers in the csv format and save it in folder with a name like’ nse ticker’ or the one which you like.

2. Open FC Chart programme, click on the button ‘IMPORT&EXPORT’on the left side of the chart. When click on the button there you will see a pop up showing 5 buttons, you click on the button ‘other’ there you can see a button ‘import ticker’, click on it,there you can see the pop up, as per the pop up window you choose the nse ticker file (in csv format which we mentioned in the above paragraph) and click open. The 1st session is over. You can view the nse tickers on the chart on the top of the chart .


The second part of the programme is down loading data,which can be accessed either from nseindia.com or ***** finance .com. Downloading data from *****finance .com some times faces difficulties so the easiest and cheapest way is downloading historical data from nseindia.com, the data are available from ’94 onwards and authentic also.

1. download historicaldata from nseindia .com of a scrip say for example ,ACC,from 1st jan 2004 to 26th nov 2005. Down load ACC ticker from nseindia.com and which is available to you in csv format, open the csv file of acc change ‘total traded quantity ‘to ‘volume’ and save in the same csv format and save this in a file with a name not exceeding 12 characters it is important.
2. Open FC chart click on the’ import export button’ on the pop up under settings you change the ticker length to required number (usually min 2 max 12).Below that change the date(ie from the start to the end of the file),below that “click on the button”don’t add new companies “ click on it other wise in future all the tickers in the bhav copies will appear in list, to avoid this always click on the above button , next click on the button’ import price file’ there you can open the saved historical price of the file which you saved, here, ACC for example, and select the file open and the chart is ready.
3. The next part is down loading daily price from nseindia.com; for this you down load bhav copy for the day and make some changes in the bhavcopy ie the format of the file should be in the following sequence ie “tickername ,date,open ,high ,low,close,volume” always change “Traded quantity to volume otherwise volume will show “0000”and save the bhav copy in a folder; click on the import export button,click on the’ importprice file’button, chang date in the box,tick the don’t add new company button,and finally click importprice file button, that day file is saved in the chart like this you can ad every day prices in to the chart.

So Nice, I really liked it.

One more point regarding correcting the column headings. The second column contains the identifier for type of series like EQ, BE etc. This column should be deleted. The last column contains dates but title is time stamp. Change this to Date and save back.

I started using this very successfully. Thank you so much.

I would like to bring forward two things.

1) To make the sequense of “tickername ,date,open ,high ,low,close,volume”, I always bring the date column (which is actually the last column) to the second position. Is this really required ?

2) How can I update the ticker list of FChart incase of any new listing.

Kindly help .

Dear Jaydebajay,

In response to your query regarding Fc Chart customisation,the sequence of tickername,date,o,h,l,c,volume is compulsory while updating the daily EOD (Bhav Copy from Nseindia).

Regarding updation of new symbols first add the new symbol to the ticker file and save in the folder. Then run the ticker file using 'import & export button' and click on the ' other ' button.The new symbol will be added in the symbol column.Automatically your new symbol will be updated that day onwards.

Dear sankoorikal,

Thank you very much for the quick confirmation.

However, after following all the processes of running FChart, I found the thread 'F C Chart Customisation using Nse Data' most useful and easiest.

Thank you again.

Dear sankoorikal,
Thank you very much for the information about datafeed from www.nseindia.com. I have worked for 2-3 days, it worked nice. But I do not know how to download data for nifty index. There is no volume for this and sometimes it does not give the data in correct way.
I request your help for this.
Once again thaks for such useful information
mfire.

Dear Mr. Mfire,

You can get nseindex data from nseindia.com under the historical data link of equity. There is no volume for Index, but for nifty futures.
