You can get ASCII files directly according to their site, no need to use sierra, see: http://www.scmagic.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=26&highlight=amibroker

HOWEVER, there is a workaround. If you really want the data, you can get a free trial copy of SierraChart. What I did was import the 2 sec data into the eval copy of SierraChart and then export it to ASCII. I then imported this ASCII data into Amibroker.

I use their 1-minute data without any problems, but I wasn't sure if their TickData (2-sec) could be used. Thanks, David
