RE: [amibroker] How to get today's index open

First, you are getting more than the current bar, which is OK. You are
getting the entire price array. Just do the same for each price (and
volume if you want it).

IndexClose =Foreign("compx","Close",fixup=0);
IndexOpen  =Foreign("compx","Open",fixup=0);
IndexLow   =Foreign("compx","Low",fixup=0);

PS: Graham's solution is the other way to get foreign ticker data and is
more useful when you need to run a bunch of computations on the foreign
symbol to get a result that you save before doing the Restore()

Subject: [amibroker] How to get today's index open

I have an intraday database of 5 min intervals.  When I do stock
calculation, I like to know the index performance. How can I get the
value of (Today's index open / index's close price of current 5 min)?

I can use the following to get the close price of the index. But how
can I get the today's open price of the index? I tried TimeFrameGetPrice
( ) and settimeframe to daily, but both return the open of the 5-min
bar instead of the open of today. I must did something wrong.

IndCurrentBarClose =Foreign("compx","close",fixup=0);

Thanks a lot
