A couple of suggestions that I have had to use in the past due to different
data being in dollars and another in cents, not much different to your
situation
I set up a separate Layouts folder with separate indicator windows. The US
one could have all the price data multiplied by 100 to bring it to cents. So
$100.50 becomes 10050 on the screen. Then if they have part cents then it
could mean a single decimal place, but I thought US was only in cents, I am
totally unsure of this.
Ps I changed the databases to all be in dollars/cents for continuity and
removed the one that was in cents only.
Cheers,
Graham

Subject: [amibroker] Different curency databases -- an AB pain in the butt?
Tomasz and all:
I have underestimated the amount of work I'm going to have to do to maintain
a US database on AB alongside my Japan database. The biggest problem seems
to be the fact that the yen has no fractional units, while the dollar does.
This means charts and formulas that work for the Japanese side, don't work
so well for the US side. I can't simply change the format of numbers on one
chart to 1.2, to suit the US side, without adding a lot of useless zeros to
the Japanese side. One default template seems to not be the optimal
solution, and I'm not so happy about that.
Surely there must be somebody else maintaining databases in different
currencies, although if both are fractional, or both not fractional, less
problems.
I am open to suggestions (please) on how to best manage this without driving
myself nuts. Right now all my US data displays whole dollar figures
(rounded of course) for OHLC, because all my charts and formulae are based
on the fact that the yen is not divisible.
