Some further information on this is available at http://forexsb.com/wiki/fsb/manual/ambiguous_bars and http://forexsb.com/wiki/fsb/manual/scanner.

I would suggest trying to find some stock data that you can get EOD and intraday data files for, and then run some tests in FSB to see if the accuracy is improved.  Not sure about how to do this with mldownloader, although I have successfully used non-FX data in FSB using QCollector as per the documentation available at http://forexsb.com/wiki/fsb/manual/iqfeed_esignal_data.

Another Notice Regarding to ambiguous bars why all stocks come with that huge number of  ambiguous bars 

Regards

i applied it on Nasdaq Composite Stocks and it works fine

i uploaded  data here if any one interested to test 

http://www.4shared.com/rar/wqi3H8Rw/Nasdaq_Composite.html?

Another idea i dnonot if it is applicable or not !! 

The idea is : to write a function that will add 1440 to (only EOD stock data from FSB  instrument editor ) ??

Thanks again

I used advanced renamer which is a free software to rename bulk amount of files  So for example

Apple Inc._AAPL             Becomes    AppleIncAAPL1440

O'Reilly Automoti_ORLY  Becomes    OReillyAutomotiORLY1440  but this process couldnot be done every day or even every week using 100s of stock data 

With these steps i managed to export and edit 10 historical stock data and FSB read them perfectly

It will be better if FSB manage to read these names without the external editing process

Regards

this come with empty Spaces , Dots ,^ ,_,- ,& and numbers)  also it comes with no 1440 at the end of the name

Example Nasdaq 100  stocks

Nasdaq 100_^NDX
Activision Blizza_ATVI 
Apple Inc._AAPL
Bed Bath & Beyond_BBBY
O'Reilly Automoti_ORLY

Forex names are fixed to 6 chars.
Sub-folders of Data folder are called "Data Sources" in FSB Pro, Data sources also comprise all symbol settings of its data.

I know  But i considering trade with interactive brokers now and they offer global stocks plus forex as well  this is why iam asking to make FSB more fixable in reading the instruments names , if that happens the FSB itself will have more benefits for any market  and BTW this small modification will spread the use of FSB hugely

Regards And thanks for the great job

Also  may you add the option of sub-folder in data directory.

Regards

        SpacePattern  = @"[\t ;,]";
        DatePattern   = @"\d{1,4}[\./-]\d{1,4}[\./-]\d{1,4}";
        TimePattern   = @"\d{1,2}(:\d{1,2}){1,2}";
        PricePattern  = @"\d+([\.,]\d+)?";
        VolumePattern = @"\d{1,10}";

Separator between columns can be tab, space, semicolon or comma
Date can be three groups of digits separated by point, dash or '/' : 2012-03-21, 12.03.21, 12/2/1
Price can be with decimal point or without one: 1.234 or 1,234 or 1234
Volume must be an integer number 1 to 10 digits

i noticed that data folder in forex strategy builder contains IBM stock data which has different format of ASCII

So how many ASCII data format supported by FSB
