Re: [amibroker] SETFOREIGN does not give me the correct answer ...

["Steve Dugas" <sjdugas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi - I don't believe SetForeign resizes the arrays, I think it just 
overwrites the contents.  I ran into that in the past,  I think what I did 
was to set the current ticker to an index or something with a very long 
history and then search for the first non-null value.  Might want to do a 
quick plot of the foreign values though just to be sure...
