[amibroker] Re: Import from mySQL for rotational backtesting

Ken - I don't know about the ODBC properties of AB - but I've used the
import capability quite a lot at this point.  I regularly import files
using a saved import profile to speed up the operation.  It's pretty
smooth and very fast.  The data can contain a number of fields -
symbol, date, open, high, low, close, volume, and a few others - so I
think the easiest way to do it is to have your friend export the data
from the mySQL database into a standard file format - maybe write a
stored proc to automatically kick it out once a day after the close.

Just a thought.
