Can DreamTai be used to analyse Forex / Bitcoin Data? Or how to manually add stock data to DreamTai?

Yes, it is possibe to read CSV data for any stock/forex/other things using DreamTai.

For example, one of our users uses DreamTai to analyse Malaysian stock data, even though DreamTai did not have Malaysian stocks.

 

 

Here is the manual method to add price data to DreamTai.

In DreamTai, the price data files are stored in the following folder

C:\DreamTai_50225\data\pricedata
They are stored in CSV format. For example, if you had entered Microsoft
ticker symbol in Dreamtai, DreamTai will download data for microsoft and
store it in a file named MSFT.CSV.
( The ticker symbol for microsoft is MSFT)

You can open and edit CSV data in Microsoft Excel or notepad.
The price data is in form of following data separated by commas:
Date, Open , High, Low, Close, Volume, Adjusted Close
( If you do not have Adjusted close, just substitute it by Close data)

Suppose you are doing manual entry for a stock/forex/bitcoin with ticker symbol named "FB", just as an example.


STEP 0: 
Add ticker symbol "FB" to any watchlist.


STEP 1: GET THE INITIAL CSV FILE 
(create it manually or get it from your data provider)
Make sure that you save the file as "FB.csv" in the folder "C:\DreamTai_50225\data\pricedata"


STEP 2: MANUALLY EDIT THE PRICE DATA FILES AND ADD THE LATEST PRICE
Once you have this price data file, you can manually add price data to this file daily.
You can edit this file using Notepad or Excel.

Every day, just add the latest price data to the CSV file and save it.

See that the data has fields arranged in following sequence:
Date, Open , High, Low, Close, Volume, Adjusted Close
( If you do not have Adjusted close, just substitute it by Close data)
and save the file as XYZ.csv or whatever the stock ticker symbol is..


STEP 3: START DREAMTAI TO VIEW THE CHARTS
Now start DreamTai.
When you click on the LOAD button, a pop up will appear "Do you want to
download data from the internet ?"
Here you will click NO because you are now entering the data manually.

DreamTai will then load the price data files and do analysis and display the charts.
Then, you will be able to view data for XYZ in DreamTai.

Make sure that you update all the price data files manually everyday

HOW TO MANUALLY ADD/ DELETE STOCKS FROM WATCHLIST
Make a list of ticker symbols of all Stocks you want to add to a watchlist.
Go to the DreamTai folder. [ C:\DreamTai_50217 ]

You will notice files WL_1.txt, WL_2.txt..... and so on upto WL_30.txt.
These 30 files are the 30 watchlists of DreamTai.

In some computers, instead of "WL_1.txt", you will see these file shown as "WL_1".

Open the following file in NotePad : [ C:\DreamTai_50217\WL_1.txt ]
Add the Stock Ticker Symbols, one ticker symbol per row.
So, in this case, we are adding the stock tickers to the first watchlist here.

For example, here is a watchlist containing Apple and Microsoft and IBM Stock ticker symbols.

=================
AAPL
IBM
MSFT

Usually, this issue corrects itself in a day or two.
