Thanks for catching that. (In my case it was wine...) I said:

I figured about 10 months of data (about 210 days) * 13 bars per day = about 2700 bars in the 30 minute data since 11/06/00.

At 4 ticks per minute there would be 4 * 30 = 120 ticks in a 30 minute bar.

So 120 * 2700 = 324,000 bars (not the 48,000 that I said).

But 120 times as long would be 120 * 9 seconds = 18 hours so that one was right...

Thanks again.
