Dear SIr,

Right now i'm have two databases one for EOD and the other for IntradayEOD. When i created the EOD database in the ASCII import wizard i selected Trading Symbol, Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume & Open Interest. For the IntradayEOD i use a small plugin to backfill the files which is in the format Ticker, Date, Open, High,Low, Close, Volume & Open Interest.

Now i would like a create a new database for IEOD were the data will be pulled from Zerodha Pi from were we can get 90 days IEOD. But once this data is pulled out the CSV file will look in the format Date Time,Open,High,Low,Close & Volume. I will be separating the date & time then the format will look like this date,time,Open,High,Low,Close & Volume. My question is if i create a new ASCII Import wizard with the new settings will it affect my other databases. Is there any other way to pull Zerodhai Pi IEOD data to amibroker do let me know ok.

Thanking You,

With Regards,

Sonjoe Joseph

You can create as many ASCII import formats stored as *.format files as required.
**subject to OS and other limits. I mean don't create a few billion files.

Import files are not related with the Database at all.

It only tells AB what format the input data is in and how to parse (read) the importing data file.

You can use the same format file across more than one DB as well.

Contact your vendor unless some other forum member is aware of it.
