Re: [amibroker] Need instructions for setting up intraday

Greg,
 
1. You may add the following scan on your EOD 
database:
Filter = LastValue( Cum(1) ) == Cum(1);
AddTextColumn(FullName(),"Full name");
 
- then export the result and import it to your new database 
using Import Wizard and "no quotes" mode
 
2. You need 2 databases:
  one database for End-of-day data
  one database for 1-minute bars
  
  all other periodicities will be created automatically 
on-the-fly by AmiBroker.
  Note that tick-by-tick databases can not be 
created using ASCII importer - they are available only via
  plugin (currently eSignal only)
 
3.  With these 2 databases you 
will be able to see all intraday periodicities with simple menu 
selection
4. As wrote above - the most effective way is to run 2 
instances of AmiBroker - one will have EOD quotes
(+weekly/monthly charts) and second one for all intraday 
periodicities.
 
  Best regards,Tomasz

Subject: [amibroker] Need instructions 
for setting up intraday

Hi,
 
I've decided to try to set up my database for 
intraday quotes. I printed out the instructions from the last beta updateand 
it says I must create a new database.
 
 1. How do I get my ticker symbols from 
the EOD database into the intraday database? 
 2. How many databases do I need for Tick, 
1min, 5min, 15min, hourly, and EOD time periods?
 3. Do I have to each database separately or 
can I just select time frame from a menu selection?
 4. If I use my EOD database and change 
database settings to 5 min , will I have access to both EOD and 5 Min data or 
will          over write the EOD 
data.
 
I guess what I really need to know is what are 
the steps required to go from EOD daily data only to EOD daily data plus tick, 
1 min, 5 min, 15 min, hourly intraday data. 
 
I'm using version 3.98.1 for now . Lookslike we 
will have V 4.0 next week. I will wait for V 4.0 before upgrading 
again.
 
Greg
