Awesome. Thanks. I read the documentation and missed retrieve -- I
didn't scroll down and see it among the new features. Thanks.
I take it -1 tells it to go the vendor as opposed to fetch a cached
quote? Also, if you happen to know, can one safely assume that a RT
quote (in this case from eSignal) is the bid/ask for the underlying,
since we don't have a bar necessarily? Or does AmiBroker, assuming
the base interval of your database is 1 min., give you the current
OHLC, etc., of the most current 1 min. bar? I think this is
important, especially since pre-market you have OTC stocks for which
there are no pre-market quotes, and others where the most recent
activity of any kind may have been several minutes ago.
BTW, you have a very subtle and important nuance in your code that I
only discovered last night about 1AM -- that's using CStr in:
AB.stocks(CStr(strTicker))...
I was coding, and
AB.stocks("AAII") was working for me, but:
Ticker = "AAII"
AB.stocks(Ticker)...
was not. Finally I tried CStr, and it worked. Definitely something to
highlight in the code example for others who might run into the same
thing.
