RE: [amibroker] Format and data change

FastyTrack is a Close only data source, so in AB, the O, H, L, C fields all
contain the same value, the Close value.  Thus, you should not be able to
plot candlesticks using daily data. If you see them, then there is something
weird about the data and it sounds contaminated.  You can see candles in
weekly data or monthly data using the FT data.  I would suggest doing an
OLIC (On Line Integrity Check) with the FT download program. I do this every
night as it catches small changes (in your case perhaps large changes).
Another thing is to open up one of the symbols which you see with weird
plots and examine the data date by date in the Quote Editor.

HTH.

Subject: [amibroker] Format and data change

I just added the FastTrack stock database to the funds database I had been
using with Amibroker, and I am getting two bits of wierdness that I can't
explain.

One, I have robust candlestick charts on some issues and on others single
data points, one per day.

The other strange thing is on the single data point issues the data is
through my last update, but on the candle stick charts the data stops in
April.  This occurs on several major issues like GE, so I know they company
has not gone away.

These changes go back and forth using the same layout and just scrolling
through a watchlist.

Do any of you have any idea of which button I need to push to correct these
items?

Thanks for your help.
