[amibroker] Data Math

64 bytes per quote x 500,000 bars (default max # saved) = 32 MB
for a single quote array (e.g. Open)

For OHLCV:  32 MB x 5 = 160 MB

10 x 160 MB = 1.6 GB
20 x 160 MB = 3.2 GB

500,000 / 1440 minutes-per-day = @ 347 days

So, depending on the specifics of computer memory, which quotes you
are using, etc., you could backtest on a portfolio of something like
10 - 20 symbols with something like 2 years of minute data per symbol.

Is that approximately right?
