[amibroker] Re: Using Amibroker with External Data for different Exchanges

Hello Bill,

Thanks for the feedback.

If I do use only 1 Amibroker database, then how will I know what 
security belongs to which exchange when working within Amibroker?

I know a lot of the symbols, but obviously not all of them especially 
when working with multiple exchanges.

Any help much appreciated.....

a single AB database by incorporating folder information in the name.
