[amibroker] ThCSV Plug (was import data from AAII into Amibroker)

Wed, 10 May 2006 14:00:38 -0700

After importing via the DLL, will AB store the data in its database?

This would be best for speed and ease of use - Perhaps I am hoping
for too much.

Or does the data need to be reimported every time AB re-runs a test
or optimational cycle?
