"Not enough data available" to plot a chart

joeoil · December 2, 2020, 8:35pm

There was a few ticker names that was changed on Oslo stock exchange recently, and when I try to download data with this new ticker names from finance.yahoo, Amibroker says that it's "Not enough data available" to plot a chart. It needs at least 3 bars.

Not a big deal, just curious, why does Amibroker need at least 3 data bars to plot a chart?

Well:

with SINGLE data point, there would be only DOT, in the middle, not any chart. Also there is impossible to calculate change (from previous bar/day).
with TWO data points the "chart" would be just straight line and similarly useless
THREE data points is minimum to have something that resembles actual "chart"
