[amibroker] Re: FXCM data

Trading Reference Links


Chiming in on this-  I spoke with fxcm a few weeks ago and all they
offer is the DDE fee with no backfill for a monthly price.   
The idea of exporting historical that my system relies on and RT DDE
to get current sounds messy.
I am therefore stuck to using  esignal for data/ami for charting and
fxcm for execution. 
Sure wish I could trim this to two parties instead of three.  I did
put the suggestion to fxcm; the more fxcmer's that use ami the better.
