Question on FastTrack Database(s) After
conversion.
After FastTrack splits the database into separate databases for funds, ETFs and
Indexes, w
ill the FastTrack.dll create separate databases in AmiBroker? Or can we keep
funds, ETFs,
and Indexes in a single AB database? For example, if I want to compare a fund
to an
index, will the AFL change from what I currently do?
