IB/AB data
Herman,
 
I had signed up for the eSignal trial and didn't find the option to select 
eSignal Basic . I was looking at a bill of over $200 CDN so I wasn't too happy 
about that . This A.M I called eSignal and they now have me on the basic plan 
for $88 . Does that fall in line with your arrangements with eSignal?

  A 
  bit off topic... I recently requested an eSignal trial and found the 
  unrestricted (within the number of stocks limit) availability of RT data just 
  too nice not to have. I had forgotten the luxury of the on-demand RT data 
  that I enjoyed during my MetaStock days many years ago 
  :-) Anyway, I subscribed to eSignal Basic and now I can't 
  understand how I managed to work without it: backfill at any time 
  and better utilization of AmiBroker's capabilities. I previously used the 
  IB-DLL with TWS data, as well as Quotetracker, but while that served me up to 
  a point i am quickly getting spoiled with seeing RT data whenever I turn 
  on my computer.

    mean by API for access by other programs (AB), well, everybody is keeping 
    their fingers crossed :-) it certainly has been suggested to IB and i guess 
    eventually it will become available. Then, when the drain on their system 
    gets too much they will probably start charging for the servive.

      Herman,
       
      Thanks for your reply . Has IB indicated that backfill feature might 
      be available in the near future?

          [amibroker] IB/AB data
          Hi,
           
          I've just got myself setup with the Interactive Broker plugin for 
          Amibroker. 
           
          IB doesn't provide a backfill feature. I think have that right. 
          
           
          So does this mean I will have to keep an IB/AB connection during 
          each trading session? 
           
          What about futures, will I have to stay connected for 24 hours to 
          get all the data I want for charts or just normal trading hours. 

           
          Thanks in advance.
           
          Greg
