Initially its little diffucult to configure data for Amibroker but its not that complex too....

There are various threads on Traderji which talk about configuration of EOD data with Amibroker.

Following steps shud help you
(PS : These steps have been taken from internet)

1. Download Bhavcopy (Google Bhavcopy)

2. Configure Amibroker







3. Creating Getbhavcopy.format file

Create a new text file called 'GetBhavCopy.format' in \Amibroker\Formats directory using notepad. Paste the following code into it and save the file.

$FORMAT Ticker,Date_YMD,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume,OpenInt
$SKIPLINES 0
$SEPARATOR ,
$DEBUG 1
$BREAKONERR 1
$AUTOADD 1


4. Add Getbhavcopy.format into Amibroker formats list

Open file import.TYPES from the same directory (\Amibroker\Formats directory) into Notepad and add following line at the end of the file.

GetBhavCopy format (*.txt)|*.txt|GetBhavCopy.format

5. Importing the data

To import the NSE and BSE EOD data downloaded using Getbhavcopy into Amibroker

Start Amibroker and select the 'Import ASCII' option from the 'File' menu.
Browse to the NSE or BSE data download directory you have setup in Getbhavcopy options tab (i.e. the location where Getbhavcopy downloads the EOD data)
Select 'File of Type' as Getbhavcopy Format (*.txt)
And finally, select the required data file and click OK. Amibroker will import the data.

(I tried to add all the images, but due to restriction of only 4 images per post I am not able to do so.)
