Hello,

Tick mode _is_ supported by the wizard.

You just need to add

$TICKMODE 1

in the "Additional Commands" field in the wizard.
And use "Close" for Last tick price and "Volume" for last tick size.

That's about everything what is needed.

Best regards,

Hello Tomasz,

yes, ist was explained:

Import ASCII
AmiBroker has easy-to-use and flexible quotation import feature. This
document describes advanced concepts of AmiBroker ASCII importer.
Novice users should start with ASCII Import Wizard.

...an I am a novice user. So I tried to import my Data with the
import wizard. How should I know that tickdata import is not
supported by the wizard? I had to ask it.

Now I know I have to use the importer, but it would be much more work
to intodruce myself in preparing the data file...

Thanks
