You can not get intraday data from daily bars (as you have said the information is not there).
 
You need to work with intraday data base .. which will limit your data length of course.

Subject: [amibroker] Help - TimeFrameSet, Please

Hi,
I want to write simple system working on dayily bars. I want to take LONG when price = OPEN+15 or take SHORT when price = OPEN-15. But I have problem: how can I check on historical data what is first: OPEN+15 or OPEN-15. Days bar don't have this information and this is why in those specific days I want to change TimeFrame to 1minute bars or 1Hours bars. But I don't know how to do that :-(

Could anybody help me with that ?

Regards
