Hello,
 
But... please take a look at the <FONT 
color=#ff0000>DATE reported by QuoteTracker if you 
click
<A 
href="">http://127.0.0.1:16239/req?getLastQuote(ACTIVE)
 
 
Have you set "EOD time shift" correctly as described in the 
User's Guide?
 
Excerpt from "Tutorial: How to use AmiBroker with external 
data source (Quote Tracker)"
 
Time difference relative to US Eastern time 
- the time difference (in hours) between your local time and US Eastern 
time (EST). This field is needed because QuoteTracker's server reports all times 
in EST time zone. This means that if you live in Australia QuoteTracker will 
report ASX quotes with EST time zone and they will be 15 hours off from your 
local time. While AmiBroker has the setting for shifting intraday charts and 
this is not a problem when running Intraday mode, it becomes a problem when 
using daily (EOD) mode because quotes reported by QuoteTracker are one day off 
then. This setting solves this as AmiBroker adds the number of hours entered 
here to the time reported by QuoteTracker to get the valid date of quote in 
daily mode. This field is filled in with the difference calculated using your 
Windows Time settings.
