Thanks Tomasz.
I think maybe this line in the help file for IB Plug in set up might
be misleading then...??
"Now choose Base time interval. Supported intervals are: EOD, hourly,
15-minute, 5-minute, 1-minute. Professional Edition of AmiBroker
allows also to select Tick, 5-second, 15-second intervals."
What your saying is, base time interval should absolutely not be EOD...?
Thanks
