Re: [amibroker] Mixing intraday and EOD within same database

Hello,

Yes you can have mixed data, but ...
a) it works best if data source (plugin) already supports mixed mode (eSignal and IQFeed do at the moment)
because then you don't need to worry about anything
http://www.amibroker.com/video/IQFeed.html

b) if you are using plugin-driven data source that does not supports mixed
mode directly (as IB), long backfills from given source will overwrite existing data,
therefore you would need to re-import EOD data.

To enable mixed mode, go to
File->Database Settings->Intraday Settings
check "Allow mixed EOD/intraday" box.

in case a) this is all you need to do.
in case b) you would need to import EOD data manually (make sure that symbols match).

Best regards,
