Hi Quantshare,
i've just tested your new features and they are very useful: i appraise the correlation calc for the combined trading systems.
I've a suggest for you: when i load an external Metastock database, i must add all sub-directory manually. I've a primary directory that's called "CDB" and n subdirectorys. Each subdricetorys can have m subdirectorys.
If i add "C:\CDB", i show me "CDB" and its subdirectory, for example "CDB\ALL", "CDB\BCK", "CDB\ETF", but doesn't show me the subdirectorys of each subdirectorys, for example "CDB\BCK\MSCI" ecc..
This is a problem because my data provider sometimes update the names or positions of directorys and it update directory tree, then i must delete and re-add all folder in the external Metastock database import and re-add each one.
Can you implement a sub-directory research that adds all subdirectory finded when i add the root directory?

I've attached two images of the situation: the first image shows all foleder that i added manually. I added "C:\CDB" and Quantshare added automatically the first child node sub-directory such as "C:\CDB\ETF", "C:\CDB\BCK", "C:\CDB\ALL" etc..
I added manually the directory child of ALL, ETF, BCK etc..
The second image shows what is happen when you add only the root directory ("C:\CDB"): it adds only the first childs directory of C:\CDB.
I think that is useful and helpful if it adds automatically all childs of childs at all level of CDB directory like Multicharts Quote Manager works when you add the primary (parent) directory C:\CDB.

Hi Enrico,

I understand what you mean. In few days, we will create a new blog post that explains how to add multiple sub-directories automatically using the URL-Script of the downloader tool.

Hi QS,

He was referring to the ability to import Metastock historical data into QuantShare.

We never tried that package but it would probably work.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
