[amibroker] Re: Constant Volume Bars

Dennis, I tried to use a 5 second database, but then the volume bar
view is "grayed out."  If I set the database to ticks, using IQ Feed,
I can get volume bars, but I can only get a few days worth of data,
pretty worthless for backtesting and optimization.  Exactly where can
I get the workaround for this?  I don't know what Jerry meant by HQ. 
Volume bars look interesting, but they're pretty worthless if I can
only get a limited history in the database.
