Forex single broker or bank

[raf9]

Hello,

I know it is possible to use Forex single broker or bank data in Tradestation, but is possible also with Metastock Pro 8.0 Data on Demand?

Yes they can be plotted in Metastock using Data On Demand (see enclosed screenshot of a 15 min chart of EUR@GAIN A0-FX)

Hello Alexis,

Thank you for your response. How did you setup the security?

[ACM]

Raffaele
In the same way you would set up an eSignal Forex symbol in Metastock. The first time you type in the symbol it will open the Edit Symbol dialog box which you fill in as shown in the screenshot enclosed below.

Hello Alexis,

Thank you again for your response. Another question please. Is it possible to use perpetual contracts like AX 1!-DT?

[ACM]

Raffaele
The 1! user configured contracts are available only in eSignal as they are created locally by the application itself rather than being server based as the #F continuous contracts.
You can however create your own continuous contracts in Metastock by merging local data files. If you are unfamilar with how to do this you may want to reference Metastock's Help file.

Hello Alexis,

Yes, I know how to merge files but when I try to download AX M6-DT and other contracts there is no intraday data even for last 120 days and no daily data.

That is because you need to use a different symbol with expired contracts. See this article in the eSignal KnowledgeBase for more information.
