eSignal delivers every tick and on actively traded symbols it happens that there are more than 400 trades in first 5 seconds of regular trading hours. Because of that the number of symbols that can stream via say DSL connection is limited by connection bandwidth and eSignal server capacity...

Hello, Using eSignal as a data feed you can get upto 120 days of intraday backfill immediatelly. Since AmiBroker saves intraday data in its own local database, over time you can grow your database to include lots more. Using Quote.com (QCharts) as a data feed for AmiBroker you can get more...

The reason is the formula itself which is written in highly inefficent way. Pretty basic programming rules like not repeating the same calculation over and over again (moving invariants outside the loop) should be applied, see http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/message/71147

Hello, You should just switch to "LAYERS" tab in workspace window, click on "DAILY" layer then draw things that you want to appear only on DAILY interval, then select "WEEKLY" layer and draw then only things that you would like to appear only on weekly interval. It is very easy to use...

Could you please elaborate on this ? I am keen to hear what you would like to see improved in AmiBroker.

Hank, This is easier than you think. Just click once on the trend line and press "DELETE" key. To change the color just click once on the trend line and choose another color from the toolbar. By the way everything is covered in DETAIL in the Help. Specifically there is a TUTORIAL for...

Apart from being programmer I am a trader too... As for 'hard to understand' ... every software has its learning curve. "Easy" programs are usually very limited and you will outgrow them in a month. You won't outgrow AmiBroker, that's for sure. If you wish to get more info from hundreds of...

Hmm... it does not look very complicated :-)) I will consider adding this feature.

Tradestation is certainly good at using catching names for features :-) Yes TS-style "show me" dots (and not only dots) can be easily coded using AMiBroker's PlotShapes function: http://www.amibroker.com/f?plotshapes Not only dots but all kinds of various shapes can be plotted above or...

Hello, Of course it has. Price charts and indicators can be colored according to your criteria on bar by bar basis: Read section "color your bars" in the http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_indbuilder2.html See also my AmiBroker codes published monthly in Stocks&Commodities traders tips...

Hello, No you don't need eSignal to use RT (Professional) version you can use any supported data source: http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_quotes.html As for the part that confuses you: it actually means that maximum bar resolution (minimum interval) is TICK when using eSignal, and...

FYI: Starting from version 4.42 beta AmiBroker features full portfolio-level backtesting of regular (buy/sell/short/cover signal based) and rotational (score-based) trading systems.

Hello, If you look at the support page of amibroker.com site: http://www.amibroker.com/support.html you will see several links to video (flash) tutorials. The one that you should look at is: "How to customize price chart" and a direct link is...

Hello, First of all PLEASE use regular ways to obtain support for amibroker: either send an e-mail to support@amibroker.com or ask at AmiBroker mailing list http://www.egroups.com/messages/amibroker/ Posting AmiBroker questions here is bad idea because I don't look at these boards at...

Volker, Thank you for your off-topic message. IB is currently very limited when it comes to RealTime data feed. First of all it does not deliver Open price at all. Second it does not deliver backfills. These are MAJOR drawbacks and therefore IB can not be even compared to true RT...

Hello, Sorry I can not comment Ensign inteface but just want to point out that AmiBroker's interface was enhanced significantly (v.4.24.0) about month ago and in addition to accesing the database it now allows full contol over automated execution of batch...

Hello, It seems that there is some confusion about RT feeds supported by Amibroker. So to clarify I want to provide you with some facts: AmiBroker currently supports direct RT feed from 1. eSignal http://www.amibroker.com/esignal.html 2. myTrack http://www.amibroker.com/mytrack.html...

Trader, I don't want to start academic discussion here. I have seen *very* long threads discussing "language A is better than language B" topics. The point is that with AmiBroker you have full choice of tools you prefer. You can write your code in AFL, JScript, VBScript and in compiled...

You can program loops in AmiBroker using JScript and VBScript. See for example http://www.amibroker.com/newsletter/13-2001.html
