You could use "open interest" or "turnover" field for that. For instance, I put "number of trades" in "open interest" field in my entire stock database. ASCii importer help file is here:
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/d_ascii.html
Please experiment with ASCii import first because when you get to stuff that no one else is doing there might still be some undetected bugs lurking around. For instance some time ago if you tried to import ASCii data with these three fields only:
Ticker,Date,OpenInt
OpenInt data would not get imported. I'm not sure if this has been fixed.
