[amibroker] Re: The ICycle strange behavior

Hi Ed,

Thanks for all your help! I can see that IQFeed is probably "all 
there," it's just a matter of configuring things at this point. I 
installed IQFeed.dll version 1.4.1 as you suggested (removing the 
1.4.3 version first, and also reinstalling the iqfeed client 
2.2.7.2, just to make sure).

I created a new EOD database, with only once datasource (IQFeed). 
Now, I try to force a backfill and the backfill status window shows 
that I am getting a "socket error: 10061" and also that the ticker 
in question is at "status: ready."

I checked what data was retrieved and all I am getting is the Close 
data (for all stocks) from 4/16 -- not enough to even show a basic 
price chart.

I brought in about 9,000 symbols into this new EOD database. I'm not 
sure what the 500-symbol limitation in IQFeed refers to -- is that 
only for 1-minute or other intraday data, Level II data, or is that 
for any data I am trying to bring in, regardless of time frame?

Any ideas? Support for IQFeed used with AmiBroker appears minimal 
over on the IQFeed team.

Thanks again,

Brian R.

Just remove the version 1.4.2 and replace it with 1.4.10beta. You 
will have to restart Amibroker ofcourse.

month for 500 symbols. Nice about eSignal is that the chart will 
also show pre- and afterhours data. IQFeed will not show them in the 
chart. Also IQfeed can only show 1-minute charts and no "tick" 
charts for the time being but we might be able to use tick charts in 
the future also. Then eSignal has nicer charts because they remove 
spikes and IQFeed does not.  If I start making a million a year I 
will change to eSignal ...
