Hello,

Thank you.

That's good.

> b) I don't quite understand this one. Could you please explain?
> What do you mean by "change the new version in AA window"...?
This was discussed recently. If you change the contents of the file
that is #include-d then you have to modify the formula in AA
window that references this external file to make sure that AB
gets the new version of included file.
If you forget to change the formula that references external file
AmiBroker may use previous (cached) version of file that is #include-d.

I decided to make betas available for registered users only.
There are at least 10 betas between official releases.
They bring improvements that will finally appear in the official version.
Currently we have 4.36.0 beta. If you want to check these features
without registering you may need to wait until official release 4.40
which will appear late June.

You should be able to get all data that you are able to get with eSignal application
itself. Please make sure that you enter the ticker name correctly.
Also make sure to select correct base interval File->Database Settings,
and viewing interval in: View->Intraday.

Can you see green "OK" indicator in the bottom right side of AmiBroker window
(in the status bar)

If it is displayed then the connection to eSignal is OK, otherwise
eSignal plugin is not selected or there are connection problems.
Do you have Turbofeed Data manager running?

Current special:
Subscribe to eSignal Equities Basic for as low as $49/mo or save $100 ($50 off for 2 months) on your subscription to eSignal
(Real-Time), eSignal Equities or eSignal Futures.
(Offer good through 7/31/2003 and available to new eSignal subscribers only.)
https://reg.esignal.com/registration.asp?/AMI

eSignal subscription fee is for eSignal data.

The license fee you pay for AmiBroker is one-time and it is not dependent
on eSignal subscription. You don't need to subscribe to eSignal.
You can subscribe to myTrack or any other vendor supported
via QuoteTracker (www.amibroker.com/qtracker.html)
Soon  you will be able to use also DTN IQFeed with AmiBroker
and other sources.
