RE: [amibroker] A Futures plug in?

["Herman van den Bergen" <psytek@xxxx>]

Hello Tomasz,

This would be re stock futures. regretfully I know nothing about futures but
a lot of people I talk to before the market opens tell me "the futures are
down" and lots of time this means the opening price trends are down. This
would indicate that we can add a small percentage to our entry price at the
open in a mechanical system.

The data appears readily available on the net, I'll ask around what is a
good site. Perhaps somebody on the list knows?

I wonder if we could pick Steve Karnish's brain on this ... would be willing
to comment on this Steve?

Thanks for your reply, somehow I missed your answer earlier...
Herman.

Tomasz,

I found very interesting your suggestion to Herman, but I need further help.
How can I automatically fill the Stock.NominalValue field, via OLE
Automation interface, starting from a text file containing a list of tickers
and related numerical values?

Best regards and thanks in advance,

Franco
