[amibroker] Using Amibroker with External Data for different Exchanges

["chorlton_c_hardy" <chorlton-c-hardy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

This is my first post on here, as I have only recently started using 
Amibroker.

Currently, my EOD data is supplied in Metastock format from an 
external supplier (JustData), and is stored in the following 
folders/directories on my pc:

C: - MyDatabases - Metastock - 
ASX - 0
ASX - 1
ASX - A
ASX - B
ASX - C, etc, etc
LSE - 0
LSE - 1
LSE - A
LSE - B, etc, etc
World Indices

At the moment I trade multiple exchanges (ASX, LSE) as shown above.

To use this data within Amibroker, I am aware that I can use the 
Metastock Plug-in to recreate my databases in Amibroker, as per this 
link http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_extsources.html

However, when it comes to creating the equivalent databases in 
Amibroker, how would others recommend I create them? 

For example, would I need a different Amibroker Database for:
1. each current folder (as listed above), 
2. 1 for all the ASX data, 1 for all the LSE data, etc
3. 1 database which captures ALL my data (LSE, ASX & Indices)?

If option 3 is suitable, then how would I distinguish in Amibroker 
which exchange a security belongs to (LSE or ASX)?

Apologies in advance if this is a basic question.

Any help much appreciated,

Thanks,

Chorlton
