Hi friends, I am trying to use Amibroker for chart analysis- EOD with NSE data from Getbhavcopy. I have created database named NSE in local drive at C:\Program Files\AmiBroker\Bhavcopy\NSE. Next, I am trying to import NSE EOD data after following all the instructions provided in the getbhavcopy documentation including creation of GetBhavCopy.format. Although I have added code in the last line of import.types as below GetBhavCopy format (*.txt)|*.txt|GetBhavCopy.format Error is "Logging started for 'C:\Getbhavcopy\NSE\2008-12-15-NSE-EQ.txt' file, using format definition file 'Formats\default.format' Error in line 3IINFOTECH,20081215,36,41,35.1,39.3,1146353,0 Invalid date format/value." Can someone help me with the exact procedure in case I am missing any point. | |

I am not an Amibroker expert but I think you are missing the following step in the very last part of the documentation while importing the data.

Hi Hemen, Thanks for your feedback. It helped me to some extent. However still after following all the necessary steps no chart was displayed. Then I had a workaround... In addition to instructions provided by Abhay "Create a new text file called 'GetBhavCopy.format' in\Amibroker\Formats directory using notepad. Paste the following codeinto it and save the file." Instead I copied a existing *.format file in folder AmiBroker\Formats. Say I copied file aqb.format and renamed it to GetBhavCopy.format. Now next I replaced the entire code provided by Abhay in this file and saved. After that all other instructions remaining same, I was able to successfully import data files for NSE and the charts were been displayed. I hope this will help to other forum members if they are stuck with same problem. | |

Hi Prashant and Hemen,
After following all the instructions given by you guys, even the changes Hemen mentioned herein, i could not open any charts as such, it says
NOT ENOUGH DATA AVAILABLE TO PLOT ANY CHART AT LEAST 3 DATA BARS ARE NEEDED,BUT THERE ARE ONLY 1 BARS in '20MICRONS"
Please help me with the same. | |

That could be because you have just imported data for 1 days in Amibroker. Try to download the histoical data (search forums for ASCII data), and import it into Amibroker. You should be good then. | |
