 Configuring BodhiGold for Insight Trader
Insight Trader is a charting program supplied by insighttrading.com.au. It accesses data from BodhiGold's BodhiOne format.

You can trial BodhiGold for 32-days with no obligation by visiting this page. Please follow the installation instructions on the download page.

    The BodhiOne format uses the following default directories:
  • c:\My Databases\BodhiOne\%Source%\Stocks => If you are downloading information from the ASX, this directory will contain any equity and/or index symbols you choose (ie. BHP, CBAWMJ and/or XJO etc.).
  • c:\My Databases\BodhiOne\%Source%\Options => If you are downloading information from the ASX, this directory will contain any Exchange Traded option symbols you choose (ie. BHPJQ and/or BHPYP etc.).

    The %Source% is a wildcard and will be replaced with the 3 letter Exchange Code of any Exchange data you download. This ensures that the symbols for each exchange are kept separate which stops any incorrect data being written into instruments which have the same symbol.

These directories will ony be created if you have selected symbols that fit their criteria. Note: Directories are created automatically on your first download.
