Help for aptistock and fcharts

Hi People,

I have downloaded aptistock and fcharts SE. I need your help in getting the EOD data of both NSE and BSE on to these softwares.

Also what I would like to know is whether the EOD data has to been to done one stock at a time or can all the stocks traded on that day can be included.

Thanks

Mandeep

Search in this forum. You will find an excellent step by step instruction as to how to set up and run Fcharts and also how to update EOD quotes.
Updating is done for all stocks at once in Fcharts by using import/export button and download menu. You will have to enter only market suffix, which is .bo for BSE and .ns for NSE. Ticker symbol for sensex is ^bsesn and that of nifty is ^nsei. It takes hardly 30 seconds for updating nearly 2000 stocks with EOD quotes in Fcharts, provided you have speedy internet connection, preferably broadband connection. In aptistock also, updating is done automatically, but it takes time as updating Eod quotes are done one by one. If you have any doubt, go through the help file in aptistock.

2. Check c:\program files\aptistock\data\nse folder not having TATM.NS.csv, else delete the existing file

3. Open AptiStock, in main-menu->Tools->DataDownloader->Import->Browser->select abcd.csv

4. SelectDestinatonMarket=India(NSE), Check:Use Suffix .NS, Click->Import, Import EOD data finished should get displayed

5. Check destination folder=c:\program files\aptistock\data\nse having TATM.NS.csv, rename to ABB.NS.csv

6. In main-menu->Show Stocks List, Stocks window will open

7. In Stocks window->Global Market Index->India(NSE)->Select ABB.NS symbol, might have to try selecting any other symbol and then selecting back ABB.NS again will display chart of the stock

I have found a low cost Utillity called BhavCopy2FChartsEOD for download data from www.nseindia.com and convert into FCharts Format.

it will very usefull for users who want data from NSE.

Hello kshdas,
Can you please explain how to make this file in .csv format. I mean if you have historical data for bse and nse from say 1995, how to add the column <period> in all the data files? Is there any software which can do this job in bulk data base? or one has to do it manually?
Thanks and waiting for your reply
