[amibroker] Re: - CSI commodity backtesting question

So if I understand correctly, we will have to convert the CSI data
into MS format to be able to have that read by Amibroker?

Does anyone have experience doing that.  Is it slowed down?

Are there plans to have Amibroker read native CSI futures data?

Thanks
