[amibroker] Re: How does Date() return the date ?

Michael,

There are three distinct possibilities AFAICT.

1) The data for 'selected' and 'foreigned' matches
2) The data for 'selected' is more for 'foreigned' is less
3) The data for 'selected is less and for 'foreigned' is more

As I thought aloud in the earlier post, if I make a hypo security 
with data upto December 31, 2020, then I leave myself with just #2 !  
A perfectly known scenario and can be handled easily.

Is there any other way that I've not thought of ?

Regards,
