[amibroker] Re: Yahoo Data: Volume Split Question

That's interesting, I guess it boils down to: what does one 
consider "correct" volume?  

For my particular purpose I usually prefer NOT-split-adjusted prices 
so have removed AdjClose a long time ago and am perfectly happy with 
what I consider correct volume: the actual number of shares traded no 
matter the price or the splits (so please let AQ keep it that way :)

Then again, I am no frequent user of volume analysis so others may 
think different.  

Dave, perhaps you missed Tomasz's reply to your earlier post, that 
confirms what you observe. I guess only Tomasz could adjust how 
AdjClose affects the various fields during AQ import. Apparently it 
should no longer divide Volume by the split factor?
