Thanks for the backup, Angus - good to hear from a fellow Aussie
AmiBroker too! If you need Aussie historical data, I have just bought an
historical CD from QBL in Sydney for $49.95 + $10 P&P. They are at:

http://www.qbl.com.au

or if you only need a few stocks then I can send them to you in either
MetaStock format or AmiBroker format. That goes for anyone else looking
for Australian historical data - some of the data goes back up to twelve
years, which is when the Australian Stock Exchange went computerised.

Yep, I couldn't agree more, and I hope that Tomasz is lurking around :-)


Bye for now,
