$FORMAT line controls the import format.
Yahoo currently delivers only ADJUSTED data. But they are adjusted in two ways. First way is just adjusting for splits. And these data are downloaded by default.
Additionally Yahoo has “Adj. Close” column that provides close price adjusted for splits AND dividends.
You can download data adjusted for splits AND dividends by changing aqh.format file.
AdjClose field says that AmiBroker should use adjusted price. If you want prices adjusted for both splits and dividends simply replace $FORMAT line with:<\/p>
$FORMAT Date_DMY,Open,High,Low,Close,AdjClose,Volume<\/code>
(note AdjClose in place of Skip field)<\/p>$VOLFACTOR line controls the volume multiplier. If you want volume to be expressed in single shares instead of hundreds of shares replace $VOLFACTOR line with:<\/p>
