Hello,

A new version of IQFeed plugin (1.5.1) has been released to
http://www.amibroker.com/iqfeed.html

Direct link: http://www.amibroker.com/bin/IQFeed1510.exe

It implements bad data filter which is based on ATR (average true range).
The filter is turned ON by default and uses 9-bar ATR of High-Low range.
If next bar High-Low range exceeds X times ATR then this bar data are filtered
to eliminate spikes.

You can control both averaging (ATR) period and X (the detection threshold)
from File->Database Settings->Configure.

You can also TURN OFF the filter already by going to
File->Database Settings then clicking CONFIGURE button and UNCHECKING "Enable" flag in 
"CONFIGURE" dialog.

Please note that filter by default runs ATR(9)  and if current daily H-L range
exceeds by default 4 (four) times the ATR then it considers this bar as a spike.

This may or may not be correct for each and every symbol. (My experiments shows
that this is good choice but I was checking only Nasdaq 100 symbols).

You may increase the threshold from default 4 to say 5.

Anyway as I wrote many times the filtering or fixing bad ticks should be done by feed
on tick-by-tick level (not on minute bars) since only that way it can be accurate.
And this is what I am hoping for in API 3.0.

Anyway I have done already more than I planned (I have planned to wait for bad tick filter in IQFeed
but they did not make it for over a year).

My intention is to  wait for the API 3.0 with ANY further development of this plugin.
