Re: [amibroker] UK Prices Quoted in Pennies

Hello,

Actually AB is currency neutral. If all your quotes
will are in pennies then backtests will be in pennies too.
It does not assume any particular currency.

Problems start when you have quotes with different currencies
in the same database and you mix them in one backtest.

The only solution right now is to use
$PRICEFACTOR
command in ASCII importer that allows to multiple
prices by any factor (for example currency exchange rate).
