[amibroker] Re: Dynamically Defining number of Bars to be Loaded

Thanks, Christopher, but I don't think that's the answer.  Even when I
use the data range capability to limit an exploration to, say, 5
years, the progress messages flashing at the bottom of AmiBroker
indicate that it's loading 3000 bars (about 11 years) for every symbol
in the exploration.  So, changing the date range to 1 year from 5
years doesn't reduce the run time for the exploration.
