How to get FOREX quotes from MSN into Amibroker via Amiquote

Amiquote is equipped with an automated download of FOREX from FORAM but only has the majors. I''m interested in USDCAD so this isn't the best solution for me. Yahoo seems to offer only current day. So I tried MSN. I used MSN to download EOD FOREX data and noticed that the USDCAD pair was inverted, as was the CADUSD pair. So I went the next step and obtained a list of currency pairs. I'll list the pairs and then some instructions on how to configure Amibroker/Amiquote to auto download. Some pairs included here are useless, so you might want to trim your database once you've completed this. Then I configured the Amiquote translation table to relate the proper data to the symbols the way it should look. Here are the instructions on how to do this.

Here are the pairs, import this list into Amibroker. Import using "Import Wizard" select the file and set the window up like this screen shot.

Now you have a populated database in Amibroker, but it's empty. Next, click "Tools" "Auto Update", Amiquote opens. Select MSN as the datasource. In AMiquote Select "Tools" Symbol Translation", select "MSN Historical" and copy the following list to the clipboard and paste into the translation table in Amiquote as shown below. Hit OK and select the dates you want to import, then start the download. If you go to far back it will only give you monthly data, so do a long term and then a short term download. You can even try to get data for something like 2005 to 2006 and see if it give you finer resolution.
