FCharts2 SE is a charting program created by SpaceJock.com. This program imports the BodhiOne format created by Bodhi5. If you haven't already downloaded and installed FCharts2 SE, you can do so by going to this link and following the installation instructions.

The BodhiOne format uses the following default directories:
• c:\Data\BodhiOne\%Source%\Stocks => If you are downloading information from the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), this directory will contain any equity and/or index symbols you choose (ie. BHP and/or XJO etc.).
• c:\Data\BodhiOne\%Source%\Options => If you are downloading information from the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), this directory will contain any Exchange Traded option symbols you choose (ie. AGLQ17 and/or BHPN98 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 instructions will take you through two processes:
• Configuring Bodhi5 to use the BodhiOne data format.
• Importing the BodhiOne data into FCharts2 SE.

Configuring Bodhi5 to use the BodhiOne data format.

1. Install Bodhi5 using the installation instructions.
2. Once installed, launch Bodhi5. If this didn't happen automatically when you finished installation double-click the Bodhi5 icon on your desktop or select it from your Windows® Start menu. Windows® 7 or above = Start ➔ Infosoft ➔ Freeway
   Windows® XP or below = Start ➔ All Programs ➔ Infosoft ➔ Bodhi 5 Gold ➔ Freeway
3. A Confirm box will appear asking you to connect to the Internet to finish the installation. This process requires downloading files from the Internet. Make sure you are connected to the Internet then click the Yes button.
