How To Import Options Intraday Data Into Amibroker

 

I am sequencing the steps required to make the process easy to import the data.

Download any one of these two files given below as per your preference of Text or CSV file import or you may download both also as it will be like an add-on.

IEOD CSV  

IEOD TXT  

Paste these two files in the Amibroker Formats folder. Generally, the path of this folder is in

C Drive --- Program Files (x86) --- Amibroker -- Formats

Basically, where Amibroker is installed, you will find the Formats folder in that directory.

After pasting them search for "TYPES" file named as 'import' in the same Formats folder.

Open that import file and paste these two lines at the end

IEOD TXT Format (*.txt)|*.txt|IEOD TXT.format
IEOD CSV Format(*.csv)|*.csv|IEOD CSV.format

After completing these steps you are ready to import the data. 

Extract the zipped file contents [data file] in a folder of your choice. The output will be CSV or/and Text files.

Now Open Amibroker, from the File Tab choose Import ASCII, reach the folder where you have extracted the data files. 

Select the files of options data, the CSV or TXT files under Filename as the case may be. In the Files of Type through the drop-down choose the IEOD CSV or IEOD TXT file from the Formats folder of Amibroker, then click open, the import process will then complete. You will see the tickers in your database.
