Re: [amibroker] Re: Buying at the exact price trading signal occurs

If you have 1 minute data, then you will know all of the information that 
you need for a daily chart (open, high, low and close on the day).  If the 1 
minute datafeed is accurate and the daily datafeed is accurate, then they 
should match each other exactly.  You may need to determine the day open and 
day close times if the ticker trades outside of regular trading hours.

hope this helps
