RE: [amibroker] Foreign() question

[Paul Ho]

While you cant use foreign to access AAPL-EOD, you can store 65days avg as a separate ticker using addtocomposite function. and use foreign to access the ema value directly.

I'm trying to figure out a way of accessing the EOD 65 day average in the intraday database.  I suspect I "could" do it via a script or ActiveX, but have no idea where to start, since I'd have to change databases, etc. I have also tried importing EOD data under a separate ticker name (e.g. AAPL-EOD) into the intraday database and then using setforeign() to access this ticker, but Amibroker only sees the EOD data for as long as I have intraday data ( e.g. if I have only 45 days of intraday data, it only sees 45 days of 'AAPL-EOD' data, even if there's 20 years of data in there) and so I can't calculate the 65 day average off this ticker. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark __._,_.___ Please note that this group is for discussion between users only.
