the new version of the plugin has solved the issue, thank you so very
much!
to answer your previous question: no, i am not subscribed to any
non-US stock data.
you know, you are extraordinary, tomasz.
there is a small problem, i post about it, you reply within 5 minutes
and then: within less than 30 minutes you code and post a new plugin
to solve the problem although you could not replicate the issue on
your side.
i have not been to the mailing list in quite some time, because i have
actually succeeded in taking the step from playing around with
amibroker to becoming a successful trader with amibroker. i make my
living now using your software and this would never have been possible
without your amazing work.
my deepest thanks go out to you, tomasz janeczko.

Please try it and please tell me if it helps (I can't verify that
