[amibroker] Re: Symbol Translation table

Thanks for that. Can I follow up? I feel like I should know this - 
but what is the advantage of using Alias of Symbol Translation table? 
What does one gain? Previously, I used the Yahoo tickers in AmiQuote 
with no translation and then, of course, I would end up with the 
Yahoo tickers in AmiBroker - and that worked okay. Is there a 
disadvantage to having the Yahoo ticker names in Yahoo? What am I 
missing here?
