Fibotrader : An Excellent Free TA Software

venkatpp · #**241** 18th September 2006, 09:09 PM

Hi Soumya,

Thanks for your initiative and efforts which has been of great help!!

I downloaded Fibotrader on 1st Sept and the date files till 31st Aug as per your attachments. It was working fine and I started downloading EOD files from 1st Sept from bse-nse 2005 yahoo groups. Once imported, for some reason, the open prices were not accurate. I thought it is better to use the EOD files that you post in the data thread.

I overwrote the Quotes_0 file and the data till 30th May is displayed fine in fibotrader. However, once i imported data from 31st May to 4th Aug, the data did not show right in fibotrader. I am attaching a chart for your reference.

It appears that I have done something wrong and I am not able to figure out. I appreciate your help!!

Regards
Venkat

Hi Fibotrader/Soumya,

I have downloaded Fibotrader version 3.1.13 and installed (fresh installation, not upgrading the older version). As per the web page it is supposed to function as a full version for 10 days and then revert to Free version. But right from the first run it is starting in Free Version (Actually there are three options: (i) Free version, (ii) Enter activation code and (iii) Visit shop). As I have no activation code I have to start in Free version. I have NOT tampered with the system date. Why I am not able to run it in full version?

The charts I draw are shown with a label Age:91 days. I have installed the software just a couple of days back, how can the charts be 3 months old? Can you help?

It is not necessary to delete the OI and Series columns. Before starting import, click on the OI column header and change it to n/a. The series column is already marked n/a. The columns marked n/a are not read.

Please check if the columns in the ASCII Import are detected correctly and set them to the right value if incorrect. It looks like the columns havea different order and instead of the close the volume is used or something like this.

If you had Fibotrader installed before, it will not start the trial again. This should be logical since by just reinstalling and saving the data directory you would have a free registered version forever. We give out temporary codes in cases where there was never a free trial. If this is applicable to you and you never used it before please write a short note to support@fibotrader.com.

But here is something interesting. I have not used Main and Quote_0 files of Soumya. I deleted all quotes, symbols and the folders supplied with Fibotrader. Created my own folders, named them BSE and NSE. I had my own historic NSE data (1994 onwards upto July 07, 2006) in txt format, one file for each symbol. In all about 970 files. There was no symbol name field in these files. The format is Ticker, Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume. I imported these with the help of QuoteMan using wild card format (giving file name to import as *.txt). The fields were correctly identified by Quoteman and data was properly imported into Quote_0 file. The Symbol and name for each ticker were identical i.e. Infosys Technologies symbol was INFOSYSTCH and the company name was also INFOSYSYCH. Then I updated the data for the period July 10, 2006 onwards using the EOD files supplied by the Yahoo group bse-nse2005. These files have data fields ticker, name, date, open, high, low, close, volume, open interest, series. The data column Open Interest (OI) had to be changed to n/a before importing, the series column was automatically labelled n/a. All data was correctly imported but for the Company name. The company name was not imported and remained as it was earlier. Clearly, no replacement.

Then I opened one EOD file of bse-nse2005 group (data for one day), changed all columns to n/a except the ticker and name columns. When I imported this file with QuoteMan there was surprise!! All the company names were correctly replaced. Infosys Technology was Symbol: INFOSYSTCH, name: INFOSYS TECHNOLOGIES LTD. I could verify this by checking the symbol details in Fibo explorer. How this replacement of company name took place? Earlier it did not happen when the full data was imported. By blocking all but ticker and name columns the replacement takes place! Any explanation?

Thanks for the quick reply. I had no earlier version installed anytime. 3.1.13 was the very first installation. I will contact support@fibotrader for a temporary code.

But what about the age of chart? Right now I have one chart labelled 4 days old, one 3 days old and another 40 days old. Fibo 3.1.13 is definitely not 40 days old, so how can chart be 40 days old? Any explanation?

Thanks

There could be many reasons. To put it simple: No more data has been imported and no more than that is available. Please check your data files to see if they are up to date and download new data.
