Yes, just use File->Import wizard. Be sure to check accept negative
prices. Note that Quote Editor will NOT let you enter a negative value.
To work around this, when you read the file allow for both -1 and 2 to
represent a short trade (I convert 2's to -1 after reading in the file
using Foreign.)

Subject: [amibroker] Importing a signal file

I have a signal file from another source that I'd like to import into 
AB to use in backtesting.

The file consists of:

date,#

as in:

1/2/88,1
1/3/88,1
1/4/88,0
1/5/88,-1
...etc

such that 1=long, 0=cash, -1=short.

Is there a way to import this into an AB formula to plot as an 
indicator?
