Hello,

One addition to what I wrote: Intraday mode in AmiQuote is provided to
download HISTORICAL intraday data once a day and over some time build-up the intraday
history useful for backtesting purposes.
It is not supposed to be used as a replacement for real RT feed. 
Firstly because it is delayed, secondly because it does not handle thousands
of downloads a day because of Quote.com free server limits.

To watch price changes during the day it is better to use "Current" mode
in conjunction with daily database.

If you want true RT you have to subscribe to real time provider.
If you have Quote.com subscription already for example you can use QCollector
software to convert intraday quotes to MS database and use MS plugin to
use these quotes in AmiBroker.
