Importing Historical Data in MetaStock Format.

Three MetaStock import options are provided under "Import File Type" when the Import Type is set to "Daily Historical Data". These options are (1) MetaStock List Symbols, (2) MetaStock One Symbol, and (3) MetaStock All Symbols.

MetaStock List Symbols allows the user to quickly create a quote page for the symbols (instruments) in a MetaStock directory. MetaStock data files are organized in folders (directories) which contain a ".dat" file for each security, and an index file called "MASTER" which contains a list of the instruments in the directory. Click Import and then select the "MASTER" file you wish to import. All symbols defined in the MetaStock Master File are then setup automatically in MarketDelta and a Quote Page is created for those instruments. You may provide your own name for the newly created quote page.

MetaStock One Symbol allows you to import the historical data for a single instrument from a MetaStock directory. Click Import and select the MetaStock Master file you want. You will then be asked to enter the ticker symbol to import. Type in the ticker symbol (in uppercase) and press OK. MarketDelta will search the MetaStock master file for the entered symbol and import its historical data. It is not necessary to pre-define the symbol. If the symbol is not yet defined, MarketDelta will define it automatically.

MetaStock All Symbols will define all of the instruments, create a quote page and bring in all of the historical data for each symbol into MarketDelta. Click Import and identify the Master file to import and MarketDelta does the rest.

I am not exactly sure if emaster is supported. The best way to find out is to sign up for a trial at www.marketdelta.com/trial_form and follow the instructions above on importing.
