[amibroker] TJ: Fundamental import ascii tick data problem?



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

I am trying to import ascii tick data into Amibroker using the 
special format file.  At first I thought it was working, but a closer 
examination shows that it did not work. If multiple trades happen 
within a 5 second interval only the first instance is imported into 
Amibroker.  Is this a bug in the AmiBroker ASCII importer? Is there 
some kind of workaround?

I REALLY need to be able to import tick data. Is there a way to do 
this without having to use the data plugin interface to set the  
PercentReduc field in Quotation structure to indicate the tick ID 
within a 5 sec period? 

Anyone else try importing tick data have any suggestions? Any help 
appreciated.


format file:
-----------

# Format definition file 
$FORMAT Ticker, AppendTicker, AppendTicker, Skip, Skip, Date_YMD, 
Time, Close, Volume
$SKIPLINES 0
$SEPARATOR ,
$CONT 1
$GROUP 255
$AUTOADD 1
$DEBUG 1
$STRICT 1

sample data I am trying to import:
