 Bodhi History: Making a Selection
PLEASE NOTE: If you are a BodhiGold user you do not have to make a selection as Bodhi History will read your configuration files and only load the data you have selected into the formats and directories you specified. Simply choose the option "Use my Bodhi Freeway settings" when running the Bodhi History CD-ROM.

If you have chosen not to use your BodhiGold settings you will need to make a selection from the Bodhi History menu. You may also need to change the default directories.

In the Bodhi History CD-ROM, under the Finance tab, is a list of Historical Data products grouped by Regions (i.e. Australia). By using the mouse to double-click on these regions, the selection is broken down into Exchanges (i.e. Australian Stock Exchange). Double-click again on an Exchange and the Market groups (i.e. Equities, Indices etc.) available from that exchange are displayed. When you click once on a Market group you are taken to the entire list of symbols available from that Exchange.

    Once inside the product groups you can choose :
  1. To process the entire group, by selecting ALL from the Bundle box.

    Bodhi History: Bundle all

  2. To process individual securities, by placing a tick in the corresponding box.

    Bodhi History: Bundle None

  3. To process the Top 1 to 6000 ASX Stocks, by going into the Equity list, selecting Top100 (Bundle box) then right-clicking over Top100 and then typing in a number.

Displaying hidden securities in product groups:
When you enter the different Product groups the default settings are in place. These settings control the securities that are displayed. The default settings are: Equities Currently trading common and derived Equities
Indices Currently trading Indices
Options Currently trading Put & Call Options
Warrants Currently trading Warrants
Income Currently trading Income/Bonds

Bodhi History also contains:
- Low Exercised Price Option's (LEPOs)
- Derived Warrants (Company Options)

What you process is controlled by what is selected in the Product List. If you require expired securities, current future contracts and/or derived products you can select them from their appropriate product list. This is done by right-clicking on the Product list and making selections from the Styles dialog box.
