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

Hello,

Tick data can be fed to AmiBroker via PLUGIN ONLY.

To work with TICK data you have to have REAL TIME version
AND you have to use eSignal as data source.
There is no other option right now.

ASCII importer handles ONLY intervals of 5-seconds or higher.
