Ralf:
Nice job. The next "leap forward" would be to be
able to display the entire QT Raw Data file. Just making out my wish list
for today ;-)

Subject: [amibroker] Re: Update Today's
Price with Realtime Data
Hi Bill, Andrew, Tomasz.To explain what the utility
does I give you the equivalent in terms of what you would do manually:Say
you have downloaded and updated yesterdays price data for all stocks.Today
it is say 11am and you are watching a particular stock and would like to see
inthe (ami)chart the ohlc for 10:58 and you know these values becauseyou
run Quotetracker.Manually you would (in Amibroker Menu) click -->
Stock --> Quotations... and a dialog box opens.There you would
select the mode 'Current Stock/All Quotes'. Then you would select today'sdate
and manually enter the according values. AmiBroker would then display
today's data.The utility does all of that with the click of a button
(at this stage the stock you wish to updatemust be in one of your
Quotetracker portfolios - may be later I add a function that would allowus
to get quotes for any stock).Attached the program.BTW it doesnot
touch your registry or create any files.You might put it into any
directory and then add it into your Tools menu.AND you need to enable
QuoteTrackers Webserver using it'sdefault port 16239.Copied from
QuoteTracker's Help File:####QuoteTracker contains a built inWeb
(HTTP protocol) API server that responds to a certain set of commands so that
external programs can extract information from it while it is running.
The server is bound to address 127.0.0.1 (local computer) only - this wayany
information that is received from QuoteTracker does not fall under the
"redistribution" heading and we avoid legal troubles from data providers or
from the exchanges.The QuoteTracker's Web server monitors port 16239.
You can change that by putting another port # into the STOCKS.INI file
(located in your QuoteTracker folder) under the [QTServer] section along with
the setting to turn the WebServer
on:[QTServer]Active=YESPORT=3939Note: PORT is
optional and can be any number. If not specified, it is 16239. You may
need to add the [QTServer] section yourself to the STOCKS.INI file if it's not
already there. The YES (after ACTIVE=) has to be
capitalized.####...would appreciate your commentsTomasz,
you can find all details here: <A

would appreciate your app. Could you also explain what you mean by
