Fwd: [amibroker] SCMagic and sub-minute charts

["Mark Jarvis" <mark.jarvis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tomasz,

You can get ASCII data for 1 minute files but NOT 2 sec.  I actually have purchased both types of data and know from experience.  I received an e-mail from the vendors stating this when I couldn't read the 2 sec file.

Thanks Mark, this tells me that you can read the sub-minute data into AmiBroker.

Hi David,

Their 2 sec data is in SierraChart format which you can't import directly into Amibroker (which I found out after I bought the data...)

HOWEVER, there is a workaround.  If you really want the data, you can get a free trial copy of SierraChart.  What I did was import the 2 sec data into the eval copy of SierraChart and then export it to ASCII.  I then imported this ASCII data into Amibroker.

I have a couple of questions about using SCMagic data ( http://www.scmagic.org/English/Index.htm) with AmiBroker:

 

-          Is it possible to import SCMagic's TickData into AB Pro (which they claim is 2-sec snapshots of IB data)?

-          Is it possible to specify sub-minute, time based charts in AB Pro (e.g. a 20 sec chart)?

 

I use their 1-minute data without any problems, but I wasn't sure if their TickData (2-sec) could be used.

 

Thanks,

 

David
