RE: [amibroker] Data not updated

Glen,
 
If there are any symbol changes (due to new listings, delistings and code changes) in the Metastock data format, Amibroker needs to be told to retrieve the symbols again.  You should periodically click the Retrieve Symbols button inside the File -> Database Settings configuration.
 
It'd be great if Amibroker would periodically do this (perhaps upon opening of the database) as it only takes half a second or so on my PC even with lots of data folders.  In fact, I'll send this in as an improvement request on the Amibroker web site.
 
Best regards,
Richard Dale.

Subject: [amibroker] Data not updated

Hi,

I have a stock that is merging with another. The first stock ABC is
worth approx $13 and the second XYZ is approx $4. I will get 4.234 XYZ
shares for one of the ABC shares.

What I have done is addtocomposite ABC divided by 4.234, then renamed
it to XYZ.

Now I have downloaded data for XYZ but it is not being updated on the
XYZ symbol in Amibroker. If I look at XYZ under Metastock I can see
it. I use Metastock data source in Amibroker.

Any idea why the stock isn't updating?

Thanks Glenn
