Introduction to AIQ Data Transfer Utility

The AIQDTU program is launched from the file folder /wintes32. Locate the file AIQDTU.EXE and double click to lauch.

The AIQ Data Transfer Utility (DTU) is a data-handling program designed to work in conjunction with
AIQ TradingExpert Pro. DTU is used to transfer ticker data files to and from your AIQ data base.
Imported data is automatically stored in the appropriate AIQ data directory (ticker data or market
data directories).

DTU performs three important functions:

1. Exports AIQ data to files in several standard file formats. These files can then be imported to
other (non-AIQ) software products.
Example: Converts AIQ TradingExpert Pro daily stock price and volume data files to Excel format for
import to a spreadsheet.

2. Imports data files which are in an incompatible data format (data obtained through non-AIQ
software) into an AIQ TradingExpert Pro for Windows data base.
Example: Converts spreadsheet DIF files containing daily stock price and volume data to the AIQ
TradingExpert Pro data format.

3. Transfers ticker data to and from several other charting software data files, including
MetaStock, SuperCharts, and TeleChart 2000.

DTU adds a great deal of flexibility for users of AIQ TradingExpert Pro. If you are using other
technical analysis software together with AIQ, DTU enables you to save the cost of acquiring data a
second time. Or, if you have access to data which is in (or can be converted to) the ASCII, PRN,
Excel or DIF format, you can easily import this data into your AIQ TradingExpert Pro data base.

Supported data formats

DTU supports the following data formats:
Export Import
ASCII ASCII
PRN PRN
Excel DIF
MetaStock Excel SuperCharts CSV MetaStock TeleChart 2000 SuperCharts
TeleChart 2000

ASCII, PRN, DIF, and Excel are commonly used financial data formats. If you are using a data
provider that can create one of the these formats, the flexibility of DTU should allow you to
import data from that provider.

In addition to the standard data formats, the various charting software systems translate data into
their own unique storage formats. DTU supports several of these formats (MetaStock, SuperCharts,
and TeleChart 2000) and automatically transfers data between these systems and AIQ TradingExpert
Pro.

Importing into AIQ TradingExpert Pro data directories

Ticker Data (TDATA): DTU imports stock, warrant, index, futures, and mutual fund price data from an
external file into the AIQ data directory reserved for ticker data, TDATA. The import file may be
in

ASCII, PRN, DIF, or Excel format. Also, DTU allows you to import equity data directly from
MetaStock, SuperCharts, or TeleChart 2000 proprietary files to this same AIQ data directory.
MetaStock, SuperCharts, and TeleChart 2000 are presently the only data formats that can be imported
directly to AIQ systems.

Use of wildcards for multiple ticker transfer

When you are exporting data for a group of tickers and want to export a separate file for each
ticker, you can enter a wildcard (*) in place of a file name. The wildcard automatically creates a
file for each ticker in the group and uses the ticker name for the file name. For example, entering
*.ASC names all exported files as follows: ticker symbol plus the file extension ASC (e.g.,
IBM.ASC).

You can also use the wildcard file designation to import groups of files of the same type and that use the same file specifications.

Importing external files

The lmport function imports data from an external data file into your AIQ TradingExpert Pro data
base. The import file may contain data in standard ASCII, PRN, DIF, or Excel file formats. These
are common data file formats used in a variety of applications.

• ASCII stands for American Standard Code of Information Interchange.
• DIF, which stands for Data Interchange Format, is a standard spreadsheet format.
• PRN is just a shortened version of the word print, since the file is more readable when printed.
• Excel is Microsoft's spreadsheet format.

Import file data fields

During the lmport setup procedure, you specify the file data fields by entering each field in the
exact sequence in which it occurs in the file you are importing. You, therefore, must know the
exact composition of a file record. If you do not know the exact field order of the import file,
lmport provides a function designed to help you identify the fields in a file. This function
operates in an interactive mode which allows you to examine the file header and individual records field by field. Data fields are entered by selecting from a list of standard fields. 

Data fields that can be imported
Symbol, Description (due to field size and character restrictions, this data may not import), Date, Ignore, Open price, High price, Low price, Close price, Volume,
Open Interest, Unadjusted Price, Adjusted Price, Dividend Distribution, Advancing Issues, Declining
Issues, Unchanged Issues, Total Issues, Advancing Volume, Declining Volume, Unchanged Volume, Total
Volume, New Highs New Lows.

If, for example, you are importing a stock data file, the data sequence is Symbol, Description (due to field size and character restrictions, this data may not import), Date, Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume. This indicates that each record in the import file
contains data in that order.

Standard data fields for Stock data

For stocks, the symbol is the standard ticker symbol and the standard field order is as follows:
Symbol, Description (due to field size and character restrictions, this data may not import), Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume.

 If the import file contains data for one day only, the Date field is not required. Or, if the
file contains data for one ticker only, the Symbol field is not required. In such cases, DTU allows
you to enter a Date or Symbol for the file at the time of import (in the Import Options window).
• TradingExpert Pro stores specific data fields for each class of data (Stocks, Warrants, Indices,
etc.). When you create a file for import, you should keep in mind what fields TradingExpert Pro
stores, and not omit any of the essential fields.
• When you import data for a ticker that is contained in your Master Ticker List, TradingExpert Pro
knows whether the ticker is a stock, warrant, index, etc. However, when you import data for a new
ticker and ask DTU to create a file for that ticker, TradingExpert Pro does not know the data class
and you must specify a data class in the Type section of the Import Options window.

The importing process

When you have completed the setup for the data and the type of file that you plan to import,
importing data is a quick and easy process. You simply make a few selections on the Import Options
window and click OK.

► To import data, follow these steps:

I. Select Import from the DTU File menu. The Import Options
window is displayed.

2. From the section titled File Type, select the type of file you are importing. If you are
importing an external file and are unsure of the file type, select ASCII.

3. From the section titled Symbols Not Found, select one of the following:
• Ignore
Any symbols not found in your TradingExpert Pro data base will be ignored.
• Create
Any symbols not found in your TradingExpert Pro data base will be added to your Master Ticker List
so that the data for those symbols can be imported.

4. If Create is selected in the Symbols Not Found section, a data class must be specified in the
section titled Type. This selection identifies the data class for the tickers that will be added to
your Master Ticker List. Select one of the following:
• Stock
• Index
• Mutual Fund
• Warrant
• Future

5. The section titled Store As specifies the data format that will be used for storing the imported
price data. Accept the default or override by choosing from the following options:
• nnn nn/32 (three digits and a fraction in 32's) Default format for stocks.
• nnnnn.nn (five digits and a two digit decimal) Default
format for indices, mutual funds, groups and sectors.

Note

If you have several files that you want to import that all have the same file extension and
specifications, you can use a wildcard (*) in place of the File Name. For example, entering *.ASC
imports all files with the ASC file extension.

Tip

Create a user list in TradingExpert Pro's Data Manager of the stocks you would like to transfer,
and use this list as your source for importing.

• nnnnn.nnnn (five digits and a four digit decimal)
• nnnnnnnn (eight digit integer)

6. From the section titled After Update, select any of the options. TradingExpert Pro will complete
the tasks specified after data is imported exactly as it would after a data base update through
Data Retrieval.

7. In the text box labeled Source File Name, enter a path and name for the import file. You can use
the Browse command to easily find and enter the source file path and name. To use Browse, do the
following:
• Click the Browse command button to display the Import File
dialog box.
• Select a drive from the text box labeled Drives.
• Select the import File Type from the text box labeled Save File as Type.
• Select a directory from the text box labeled Directories.
• Double click on this directory in the Directories text box to display a list of all files of the
specified type. The list of files will be shown in the adjacent text box.
• Select a file from this list. The selected file will appear in the text box labeled File Name.
• Click OK to return to the Import Options window. The Import Options window will now display the
selected file with path in the Source File Name text box.

8. From the text box labeled Specification Name, select the name of the Specification File that you
created in setup for the import of this file.

9. If you need to enter a symbol (single ticker file with no symbol field), enter a symbol in the
Symbol text box.

I0. If you need to enter a date for the imported file (single day files with no date field), enter
the date of the data in the Date text box.

II. Click OK to initiate the data import process for the specified data and import file type.

I2. During the transfer of data from the import file or data base, DTU shows you in a window
exactly what data is being imported. This enables you to follow the progress of the import process.
Clicking Cancel at any time will halt the importing process. When the import process is completed,
the Import Options window reappears. The imported data is now contained in your TradingExpert Pro
data base.
