Richard: This is very good news. How does one import the data into Amibroker? Is it by importing csv files, or is there a direct route? Getting delisted stocks for research made it worth the hassle to get CSI data into AB. After working through lots of problems, I finally settled into a two database solution. Once a month or so I would do a full history export from CSI into a virgin Amibroker database. That database was just used for research. It was never updated. The second Amibroker database of CSI data was just for the past year and it was updated regularly. Over time "junk" would build up in this database due to ticker changes etc. About once a month, I would delete the daily database, create a new one, and start fresh. A nicer solution would be most desirable. b
