There is also a ticker column which you need to account for and the 
other thing is you need to make sure that the date format in the 
ascii.format definition file is the same as your data. The above 
format DATE_DMY expects the date to be in that format so you will 
need to change this to DATE_YMD as this is the format of your data. 
Here is a format defintion that should work on your data. The 
ascii.format file can be found in the AmiBroker\Formats directory, 
you can edit this file using notepad. First make a backup of your 
original ascii.format file.
