Tomasz,
I studied the material.
Before I rush to subscribe to/buy QCh/QCollector, a few more
questions to make sure I got it right:
1. I suppose I do NOT need the MetaStock program itself to use
QCollector with AB's MSt plugin?
2. Without trying to get too technical: How does AB know what update
interval I want? Does it depend on the chart settings in popup menu?
(I hope and suppose not) Or does it somehow respond to every change
made in the MSt folder? Or is there still some manual action
required?
3. Does it work for streaming, tick by tick, too?
4. I suppose continouos update does not work with ASCII format (only
importer, no plugin).
