Jim,
Trading 10-12 days a month is a fair amount ... so you are investing a fair
amount of time backfilling data etc...
Suggest getting an eSignal data feed. About same price as Trade Station, but
you can use it with AB so all your work to date can be used. No need to
learn another language
If you don't need a lot of symbols (need 50 or less) price is a bit lower.

Subject: [amibroker] TJ Help : AB Professional Upgrade
> Hello
>
> I am an AB EOD 4.0 registered user, going realtime (must upgrade).
>
> I currently use IB-Quotracker and AB EOD for signals EOD.
> I trade intraday using IB fed into QT (10 ticker symbols only).
>
> I want to use my AFL formulas to provide real time signals on 1 and 3
> minute charts in Amibroker Professional. "IB-QT-AB Pro"
>
> I have considered Tradestation 7.2, however I do not trade intraday
> every day, probably more like 8 or 10 days per month of "possible"
> intraday trading (when I am not travelling-job), so spending $120
> bucks/month makes me cringe (as well as learning another "not so easy

> I would use Lycos (free) for backfill of intraday data every night in

> Questions:
>
> 1) Can I expect data lag and how much using the IB-QT-AB Pro realtime

>
> 2) Are there any problems overwriting the intraday IB data with Lycos
> intraday every night?
>
> 3) How much lag can I expect for the AFL formula (signal) to react to
> intraday data. Can I set it up to signal on 1 or 2 tickers (charts),
> the other charts are indexes?
>
> 4) I installed a seperate instance of AB to another directory
> (/AmiBrokerRealTime) Amiquote appears to retain it's settings across
> directories? When I opened my EOD AB (/AmiBroker) Amiquote showed
> Lycos 1 minute for download settings instead of my usual Yahoo EOD.
> How can I fix this so I don't accidently "corrupt" the databases?
>
> I would like the EOD and Intraday databases to be totally seperate.
>
> 5) Any comments from users of this setup please feel free to comment.
