[amibroker] bug with foreign() function on tick database

[Jérôme ULRICH <silvarius@xxxxxxx>]

Hello 
Tomasz,
<FONT face=Arial

Here is what seems 
to be a bug with the foreign() function applied to a tick database and used with 
5 seconds compression settings. As you will notice in the enclosed 
"exploration.jpg" file, the ultra-simple exploration (it only picks and exposes 
the close price of a foreign ticker) doesn't report the right close prices. The 
prices are either missing or false. But sometimes, also, they are right. Why, I 
don't know.
<FONT face=Arial

I need this 
foreign() function to build spread intraday backtests. And at the moment, I am 
blocked by this problem.

Please, if this is 
something I'm doing wrong, just tell me.

You will find 
enclosed :

1) file 
"exploration.jpg" that is a snapshot of the exploration 
window.
2) file "quotation 
editor.jpg" that is a snapshot of the quotation editor 
window
3) file "settings 
bug.ABS" that is the settings file I use for the 
exploration.

The database is a 
Esignal Tick database. The current ticker is the CAC40 future ("MT Z3-MA") and 
the foreign ticker is the DAX30 future ("AX Z3-DT")
