MS data into tradestation

[dovetree]

Would anybody know how to convert metastock realtime data into tradestation 2000i. Seems it can read EOD but realtime using the global server is a problem, even though globalserver can supposedly import metastock data?

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks

dove : I understand that TS can read a metastock file offline... as it can read an asci file... dont know that you can feed the globalserver with metastock data... lol

Hi Walter, Offline it seems I can't even feed TS with ANY type of file despite it allowing supposedly anyof a number of files underthe import options (including MS files) it actually "sees" the file but will not import it. It will also not import ascii file that I converted from MS format.

Thanks for the reply Any other suggestions?

cheers

what data feed are you using ?...

I did have ts2000i when I started years ago... this file reading is on the software (non globalserver) when you create a chart it will ask you from what data source... you choose a file from a folder (metastock or ascii)... thats how it reads.... but its useless on real time...

Hypertools, when it was available for free, was excellent at conversions of tick data to and from XPO, including MS and Excel. Problem is that it must now be purchased. Their website at HyperTrader Tech. Innovative Technologies for Traders hasn't been updated in a couple of years...still offering free tools that can no longer be registered to operate. They now have to contacted via email for a download link with a charge of 150 Euros when I inquired last year. I hesitated at the time because I was worried that I was dealing with a firm that totally ignored fixing their main website and wondered if they were still actually in business. Looking now months later and still nothing's changed. Has anyone here actually purchased anything or dealt with this firm in recent times?? I need to have Hypertools operating again.
