Re: [amibroker] IB Plugin and ECBOT

Another thing to consider is the 
quality of TWS data, the data shown is for trades executed through IB, and imho, 
may not reflect all trades for a certain market.
 
In the TWS, the "Last Price" has always 
appeared to be accurately reflected in the eSignal data.
 
With eSignal you never have gaps in 
your data, if you don't trade for a few days and turn on after your return the 
data will automatically fill in all missing data.
 
There are holes in the eSignal data at times.  
They miss bars, but these are omissions or errors.

  question?
  
  <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
  size=2>InteractiveBrokers does not provide data for a fee however their Trader 
  Work Station (TWS) displays quotes for up to 40 instruments. The new Plugin 
  draws data from the TWS and allows you to chart real time data as long as the 
  TWS is active. IB does not provide backfills, i.e. when you turn it on at 
  11:00 a.m. it will not fill in data and show a chart for the period 
  before 11:00 a.m. When you start up AmiBroker you will see the data collected 
  the day before but again it will not fill any gaps for the periods when 
  you closed the TWS. So, this new plug in is very nice to look for a better 
  entry or exit point in Realtime for EOD trading systems but doesn't help you 
  with backtesting over several months of RT data - unless you collect data each 
  and every day. Another thing to consider is the quality of TWS data, the data 
  shown is for trades executed through IB, and imho, may not reflect all trades 
  for a certain market. However it is a great way to progress from EOD 
  systems to RT trading.

  size=2>eSignal is a full fledged data service: you have to pay for it and they 
  have many levels of data, from about $50/month to several hundred dollars per 
  month. eSignal provides back fill so that all your data is continuous. For a 
  new subscription they provide 60 days of RT backfill. With esignal you never 
  have gaps in your data, if you don't trade for a few days and turn on after 
  your return the data will automatically fill in all missing data. 
  Nice.
