Amibroker intraday CSV import

[mdiamant]

I have historical, intraday CSV data that I want to import into Amibroker. I have consulted the Amibroker documentation and searched online, but I have not found a definitive answer.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to import intraday CSV data into Amibroker? I can modify the timestamp format as required to meet Amibroker's requirements. Thank you in advance for your help.

Importing data is documented in the 'Import from ASCII file' section of the Amibroker help file - including all the embedded commands that are supported. The import mechanism is very flexible. I use this feature all the time. Here is the format of intraday data that I use:


$AUTOADD 1
$FORMAT DATE_MDY,TIME,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume
$Name FFIV
$SEPARATOR ,
12/20/2010,930,136.750,136.990,136.300,136.340,45627
12/20/2010,931,136.400,136.510,135.170,135.170,21541
12/20/2010,932,135.078,135.990,135.060,135.750,12305

I always had trouble importing ASCII in Amibroker. Metastock import works well though and I never had any issues with it.
