Ken, Can you export the data out from your source databases? If so, importing it into AB should be pretty straightforward using the Import Wizard. If the data might clash with an existing ticker on your AB database, you might want to modify the ticker (say, with a Find and Replace in Excel) before importing. As for plotting an indicator based on two tickers, not very sure what exactly you are after but I suppose you may want to use function such as "Foreign()" to get OHLC values of a second ticker.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, Ken From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ps.com [mailto:amibroker@ yahoogroups. com] On Behalf Of Ken Close Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2007 4:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ps.com Subject: [amibroker] Two data symbols with long history This is unusual. I have been asked by someone if I can plot an indicator based on two data files (up and down Russell 2000 volumes). The data in these files starts in Jan, 1978. I have a FastTrack database (earliest bar around 9/1/1988 and a QP database (earliest around 1992?) How can I get an indicator on two data files which start in 1978? Will it make AB do anything screwy like mess up my current databases? How would I even input these data files? Maybe the answer is obvious, but I can't visualize it and I have never done something like this? Any comments?
