  • entire NSE F&O Segment
  • Contains Open, High, Low, Close, Volume and Open interest.

To import the data in AmiBroker for the first time, you will need to create the database in AmiBroker and use Import Wizard. Once this is done, you can import the data next time onwards just by selecting the file(s) to be imported. Following procedure explains how to do this step-by-step.

  • After creating the database as explained above, click File>>Import Wizard.

  • Select the file to be imported by using ‘Pick Files’ button and then click Next.

  • In the Window that opens, do the settings EXACTLY AS SHOWN in the screenshot below and click next.

  • Save this format with some name as shown in the screenshot below (so that you can use the same format every time) and click OK.

  • If you have followed the procedure correctly then the data of the first file will be imported in AmiBroker. You can then select the symbol of your choice from Symbols Window to see its data. See below.
