RE: [amibroker] Nonsense Numbers for data fields

["Dave Merrill" <dmerrill@xxxxxxx>]

I 
haven't done this myself, but I think there's a flag you can use in an import 
format definition file that disables this checking. From the Ascii Import 
docs:
<SPAN 
class=776302322-25122003> 
<SPAN 
class=776302322-25122003>===============
<FONT 
face=Arial>$ALLOWNEG Allow negative numbers in 
prices.
 
<FONT 
face=Arial>0 - do not allow negative values (default), 1 - allow negative values 
in prices. This additionally switches off any checking for OHLC relationship so 
you can import any data into OHLC fields.
 
<FONT 
face=Arial>when $ALLOWNEG is NOT specified in the ASCII importer definition 
AmiBroker performs the following range checking and fixup on open, low and high 
pricesif( open == 0 ) open = close;if( high < max( open, close ) ) 
high = max( open, close );if( low == 0 ) low = min( open, close )
<SPAN 
class=776302322-25122003>===============
 
<FONT 
face=Arial>Dave
<SPAN 
class=776302322-25122003> 
<SPAN 
class=776302322-25122003> 
I would like to make 2 artificial data series that will not be 
  logical or ."checkable" to any OHLCV sequence. That is to say, there will be 
  zeros which are logical values in my scheme that may fall in any location, and 
  the relative value of one value to another is strictly nonsensical. In other 
  words, I would like to turn off the usual data "checking" schemes while I 
  utilize my "synthetic stocks' value"I have spent a full day attempting 
  to fool the present checking schemes, without success.Is there a way 
  that the logical OHLC checking scheme can be turned off, and on, to allow this 
  type of data to be acceptable & loaded? My experience is that "nonsense" 
  data cannot be loaded by any trickery to be handled by the wizard or the ASCII 
  loader and be stored in the database. I would like to negate that logic at the 
  users discretion.All suggestions would be appreciated. May 
  your Christmas season be the wondrous, beautiful, meaningful time it is 
  intended to be. Best Regards, Hal
