You have provided ample guidance and explanation for custom databases, but I do not fully follow how to best manage quote databases.
For example, I intended to create two different quote databases, first contains some little used quotes (delisted),
and another containing more regularly updated/used symbols+quotes.

I have the data download . . . how do I best:
- determine which data is where
- best practice for managing this data ongoing
- referring to each separately or together in the software (models, etc.)

Keep up the good work + Thanks!

Best Answer

The best way to do is to create a group for each category (Symbol -> Bulk Updater).
Create two downloaders, in the first downloader set the symbols of the first category and in the second downloader set the symbols of the second category.
When using a trading strategy or analyzing rules, simply select the appropriate group in the "Symbols Selection" control.
