If you have a Metastock database, you can instruct QuantShare to read data from your Metastock folders. If you don't have one, go here and download one (Available data: Commodities, Major Currencies, Indices, Money Market, LME Metals, U.S. stocks, Japan, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Macro-economy).

QuantShare supports the different formats of Metastock files. It also supports both end-of-day and intraday data.


Steps:

- In the main menu, select "Download" then "External Database"
- Check "Metastock database" then click on "Settings"
- Click on "Folder" and add as many Metastock folders as you want. QuantShare can read Master, EMaster and XMaster files.
- When you finish adding folders, click on "OK" to save result
- Configure the external database in the "External Database Settings" form. You can for example instruct QuantShare to add Metastock symbols to your QuantShare symbols list.
- Click on "OK" twice

Now each time you open a chart, run a simulation or perform an analysis, QuantShare will read quotes from your Metastock database instead of QuantShare database.




NB: In order to recognize which symbols (stocks, ETFs, futures...) were added from Metastock folders, QuantShare trading software creates a new index called "Metastock" and associates all new symbols to that index. Later you can modify or remove these symbols very easily.

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.
