[amibroker] Re: Kase Universal Bars or MBars

Range bars sound a bit different from Universal Bars, which are
described as:

"The criteria for the minimum-size true range is that the minimum must
be three times the tick volatility. This is the same criteria
discussed in Chapter 4 relative to setting up charts. Tick volatility
equals the average difference between ticks. This is, in a sense, the
smallest price move possible in the market, the minimum delta price.
Without a multiple of at least one price change, bars will not make
sense. Bars must have a certain amount of minimum activity to be
meaningful. Therefore, we use three times the minimum or average tick
change as the minimum at which we will look at the market, If we wish
to see the market in any further detail, we must use a tick chart"

So - two questions:

- IB, my intraday data source, doesn't give true tick data, so I'm
guessing this won't work
- "Average difference between ticks" - not sure how to interpret this.

Any thoughts?
