[amibroker] Re: ASX Tick Data question

I guess we are better off to trust the ASX file .... so if we assume 
their corrections are spot on, and you enter all clean 24 hour data 
by date (sounds like you have done that) then just use AB's built in 
database settings >> intraday settings to view 24 hours or market 
hours only ... this works fine for me and you can have the best of 
both worlds.

Thanks that would be good - might help me with my programming 
education.

Interesting example in the US, last night, of how the goal posts are 
shifting .... formerly a daily bar was market hour data only and 
nothing else mattered.

Citigroup (C) traded up from 3.48 to 4.52 in overnight trading ... 
then drifted a bit to open at 4.29 and then traded sideways during 
market hours to finish at 4.17

This only happens in the hot US stocks but it changes the meaning of 
daily bars.

C is in the top ten US stocks for vol at the moment and this is where 
the O'nite action seems to happen.

(one the US opens this list will be populated with high vol stocks)

The open gap on the intraday chart was actually o'nite trade.
