The MetaStockCSV
Plug-in retrieves
any data from your comma delimited datafiles
into MetaStock. There are now two MetaStockCSV
Plug-in formulas: |
|
|
| |
|
● |
ExtFml( "CSV.BySym",
YourValue)
Our original plug-in formula allows MetaStock to use
the statistic "YourValue" from your comma delimited
text data file. Use this statistic just like you
would any other MetaStock data. |
|
|
|
● |
ExtFml( "CSV.ByFile",
YourSymbol, YourValue, YourDataPeriod)
The full MetaStockCSV
Plug-in Version 2.0 now includes a new,
additional plug-in formula allowing MetaStock to use
either very specific data or very general data
from your comma delimited
text data file. This powerful new plug-in
formula can even display daily, weekly, monthly
and quarterly data period statistics, all in the
same chart, all at the same time. |
|
|
|
|
► |
Your data files may have up to
101 columns
(or, another way to put it, up to 101 "YourValue" columns).
With the MetaStockCSV Plug-in
Expansion Pack your data files may now contain up to
151 columns. |
|
|
|
► |
When your data file is calculated, its ready to use
in MetaStock.
No import. No
conversion. |
|
|
|
If you know how to
construct your own indicators in MetaStock,
you already know how to use the MetaStockCSV
Plug-in. |

Many MetaStock users work outside of MetaStock also. Whether the
work is done in Microsoft Excel, a proprietary program or a wide variety of other
analysis programs, the results of their work wind up in data
files. More often than not, these data files are either
comma delimited data files or are easily outputted as comma
delimited data files.
Or, perhaps you use
fundamental data gathered from various web sites or
government reports on a regular basis such as housing
starts, unemployment, inflation or gross national product,
etc.
MetaStock, on the other
hand, only provides for six columns of data in its price data files. If you have
ever experienced converting your data into MetaStock format
you already understand the ordeal that is required.
Then there is the confusion of referring to your data as
"Close" in a MetaStock function when it might actually be
"Net Capitalization". For those that don't already know,
MetaStock can only call data from its files by six names,
open, high, low, close, volume and open interest (o/i).
So, no matter what the data actually is, those are the names
you must use.*
No more.
With
MasterDATA's MetaStockCSV
Plug-in you can use your comma delimited data files directly in MetaStock.
No import. No conversion. AND you call your
statistics by names that mean something. If your data
column is the value for "Net Capitalization", you could use a name like
"NetCapitalization" or "NetCap" or even
"NC" in your MetaStock functions. You
decide the names. You set the number of data columns
up to 101 and several other highly configurable options to
set up the MetaStockCSV
Plug-in to match the structure of your data files.
Once configured, if you know how to construct your own
indicators in MetaStock, you already know how to use the
MetaStockCSV Plug-in, but now
directly from
your data files.

By the way, we are in no way criticizing MetaStock. We
love the program. Every program must have limits.
