Tomasz, actually, I can think of one question right away--I paid for
the fancy, professional version of Amibroker, which is what I think
you need to get tick data, yet when I look under View->Intraday, I
find that the 15 second, 5 second, tick, 10-tick, 20-tick, 50-tick,
100-tick and 200-tick are all greyed out. Why would that be? I
couldn't trade without my tick charts! Please advise. Thanks, Taz
