Tomasz, You can get ASCII data for 1 minute files but NOT 2 sec. I actually have purchased both types of data and know from experience. I received an e-mail from the vendors stating this when I couldn't read the 2 sec file.

Thanks Mark, this tells me that you can read the sub-minute data into 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
