  1. HI , please please please can someone help me get this combination up and running. My idea of how it works was I set up the Equis downloader, this downloads EOD data for the symbol list to a folder I specify. In multicharts I add these symbols and import the data from this folder then when I open a chart it grabs the data from the folder ?? does this sound right. OK well firstly I cannot get any data , The downloader requests the data then i get recieving data but all symbols are unknown. If i try to open the vendor options in the downloader ( heard i may have to change the port) it flashes on then off very quickly. Also heard it may be the symbols im using, I have paid for european only. question 2 , in quotemanager i try and point data feed, metastock to a folder i have created in the metastock folder called european. It will not let me add this, only the sample folder will add ?? If anyone can help I would be most gratefull , or if you can suggest another way of doing it I would be very very happy. I just want to be able to have good clean data to use developing strategies, I am in Afghanistan for another 4 months , I dont want to pay a fortune for data to develop with, my 30 day multichart trial expires next week so I am going to have to purchase that as well. Many thanks and sorry its a long post.
  2. Thanks guys , I am using multicharts on the 30 day trial at the moment and am very happy with it. My efforts at powerlanguage / easy language are actially working !! I have subscribed to metastock , Reuters EOD feed it was 24 dollars for the month, however can I get the data !!!!! I updated the symbol list through the downloader, when i try and download it says unknown symbol for them all. Also oncw i have the data ( i have some samples included with the downloader ) how do i get Multicharts to use it. I have set multicharts up to use the metastock folder but no good. The only way i have got it to work is by converting the data from metastock to ascii , then finding the symbol in multicharts and adding ascii data. There must must must be an easier way ??? any help would be fantastic. The way I thought it would work would be i load the symbol list from data provider into multicharts. then every night i download my data which overwrites the existing bringing it up to date. Then when I open a chart in multicharts it opens the latest data ?? antwhere near ??
  3. Hi everyone and thanks for having me. Ok I have been trading for about 2 years mainly UK shares and tried my hand at Forex. I am currently deployed in Afghanistan with about 5 months left. I decided when I get back that I wanted to be a lot more systematic with my approach to trading and as such have been reading everything i can about Tradestation. I have reached the stage where i need to get Hands on and start experimenting with what I am learning , I cant trade from here as the internet when available is just to slow. What I wanted to know is there anyway I can trial the software to use with historical data ? I believe the software is free with a brokerage account but as i wont be using it to trade for 5 months I will be incurring unwanted costs. Any ideas or help would be most welcome. I see they do 90 days trade free but as I'm a UK citizen i need to post an application, not possible from here
