Tomasz,
Thanks for the lightspeed reply. This low-end
solution
would be perfect for me, and possibly others. Esignal
is way too expensive for me. What I wanted to know
was, in terms of this real-time snapshot of o,h,l,c,
and bid/ask, would I need to have AMIBroker real-time,
and should I then upgrade immediately, or is the
plan that the current AMIBroker 4.0 will allow for
this snapshot? (Your effort on AMIBroker makes me
want to pay you something for an upgrade!). I don't
want to be pushy, but what is the current plan to
implement this low-end solution in terms of how and
when?
As far as accuracy goes, from my experience, the datek
streamer is very accurate unless there is some
pathological error in the bid/ask, in which case it's
very obvious that the quote is in error (you'll often
get a bid=0.01, ask=$30 on a $15 stock). The error
usually corrects itself a few minutes later.
Thanks,
Walid
