Thomas,

It is quite possible that you are making mistake by comparing Yahoo EOD data with 
time-compressed intraday data from eSignal.

If your database has selected 5-minute base time interval and you are displaing daily bars
they are produced in fact by time-compression to daily.

You should remember that eSignal delivers ALL ticks both in regular trading hours AND in EXTENDED trading.

Now, if you time-compress intraday data (with extended hours) to daily bars you may
get daily bars THAT DIFFER from daily bars that do NOT include extended hours.

In AmiBroker you can control if you include or not extended hours and you can
control which hours are considered as 'regular market hours'
This is settable in File->Database Settings->Intraday settings.

So you should check your setting first and make sure that you compare apples to apples.

There is also other option: just create daily database with eSignal (yes it is possible,
just create new database and select daily (end-of-day) as base time interval)

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
