size=2>Markus,
I 
guess it depends on how large your basket is. If we are talking about your own 
personal portfolio containing a few stocks and if you are not playing things too 
close (1 min, 5 min bars) then a delayed quote service and amiquote may do 
the trick. If you are tracking hundreds of stocks then the delay + the download 
time may make this unreasonable. B's solution to use an interface to your broker 
to check your portfolio value may work but again if you are trading a few stocks 
based on the performance of a basket of stocks then that is out the 
window...... an obvious solution is to trade a basket based on an 
established index such as iShares, HOLDERs,SPDR's etc. A good example is the 
select sector spdrs which break the S&p 500 into 8 individual sectors. For 
instance XLK is the Technology spdr which is comprised of 93 individual stocks. 
Your code could use a signal based on the XLK to trade stocks in your portfolio 
such as Msft, csco, ibm and intc.  For more info you might find <A

an interesting read. Another solution might be the Fidelity Select 
indexes.

Stock basket tracking with AmiBroker real-time???
Hello again Jayson,
 
your answer is somewhat sobering    
:-(
 
Would you have a clue how I then could track a 
stock basket´s value otherwhise in REAL-TIME????
 
I´m not a day trader, but since no broker (unless 
you know otherwhise) let me set a stop sell/stop loss order for my portfolio as 
a whole, I can#t think of any other procedure thn tracking the stock basket 
real-time with AB and have AB send me an email when a given basket 
value has been reached (stop sell point).
 
Thanks for your time and help
 
Markus

  size=2>Marcus,
  <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
  size=2>Finding the condition is a matter of x=ma(v,50)*1.5...... the challenge 
  is more technical. Esignal will not allow you to scan anywhere near 8000 
  stocks as you likely have a 50 symbol max. It could theoretically be done on 
  smaller baskets but my experience has been that even with "Wait to backfill" 
  checked you will find a lot of holes in your composite 
  RT......

  Ara,
   
  if you don´t mind: would it also be possible to 
  detect stocks that show, let´s say volume of at least 150% of their 50 day 
  moving average volume?
   
  I thought of scanning the market every 15 minutes 
  to see where abnormally high volume builds up. Of course that would mean 
  scanning abt. 8000 symbols every 15 mts.
   
  Is that realistic with a Pentium 4 with 512 megs. 
  Ram? Esignal may be the Source instead of QuoteTracker, correct?
   
  Appreciate your help on this
   
  Markus

    It's quite doable ... as long as your system is 
    not particularly slow

      tracking with AmiBroker real-time???
      
       
      
       
      
      Hello,
       
      is it possible to track the value of a basket 
      of say 20 stocks real-time and then make AB to issue an alert if the 
      basket value (not just an indivudual´s stock value) drops below a 
      predefined point?
       
      I thought of tracking (and some time trading) 
      a whole basket of stocks of which the overall price may rise 
      overtime.
       
      The problem may be to set an individual 
      cuttoff point for each stock. Because some stocks may get kicked out 
      misfortunately though the overall portfolio value STILL 
      rises...
       
      I figure, AB real-time would have to 
      monitor the AddToComposite value of my stock basket, right? Would that be 
      resource-consuming if the stock consisted of, say, 30-50 stocks at a 
      time??
       
      Additionally, if someone knew of a 
      broker who let me set a stop for the WHOLE basket value rather than for 
      EACH indiv. stock, I´d certainly like to hear about 
      that.
       
      Appreciate it
