Data Feeds: Does Ensign support Metastock files?


Q:  Does Ensign has support for end of day MetaStock data? I have lots of data for my local market which is not available from the real-time data feed.  I know the software allows ASCII files to be imported but this is very painful and tedious as a chore to be done everyday.  I don't think IB carries data for the Australian Stock Exchange.   If not is there any plans for providing support?

A:  Ensign Windows does not directly support MetaStock data files.   Our End of Day version and Interactive Brokers version allow you to get tons of free data.  Therefore, there is no need to import MetaStock data.  

The Ensign IB or Ensign Internet versions will refresh daily charts for all stocks worldwide, including the Australian Stock Exchange.  This refresh data is available even though the IB feed does not have the Australian Stock Exchange.  You just would not have live data to update tick or intra-day charts.  The daily chart can be obtained by the refresh we have in place.
